Abstract
There have been many advances in the processes of product design and development over the last 25 years. Some of the advances have been in technology support tools and some have been in the product realization processes themselves as recognition of the technology capabilities develops and matures and incorporates the business practices that guide the development practices. These advances are briefly described in this paper as we observe the maturation of CAD/CAM technologies, the development and improvement of Design for Manufacturing technologies, the change in business practices from vertically integrated firms 10 distributed supply chain-oriented enterprises, and the increasing use of network-based approaches in E-engineering.
