AccuTools Inc.31 Production Cycle
AccuTools Inc.32 Lessons Learned CE concept is so important and was applied through the whole procedure of designing AccuDrill. Feedback from outside (i.e. peer review) can also shed some light on the product design, especially in the prototyping phase (the calibrating drill bit). Cross-function team has high efficiency, but hard to manage.
