CDF
The CDF enables ‘concurrent engineering’ based on teamwork and focused on a common design model that evolves iteratively in real time as the different subsystem experts provide their contributions. Designers and customers agree on requirements and take decisions in real time to allow the best design for the right cost and within the programmatic constraints.
The process has been developed and honed so it is now common to produce a costed, risk-assessed...
