There is an important strategy in new product development (NPI) - Concurrent Engineering. Concurrent engineering also refers as simultaneous engineering, is a method of designing and developing products, in which the different stages run simultaneously, rather than consecutively. It comprehensively considers product characteristics such as manufacturability, affordability, reliability, maintainability, plan-in-advance ability, and marketability in the early design stage to prevent unnecessary occurrences in later production stages. problems or delays.
Some products have a high design requirement and need to have certain protection performance in terms of waterproof, dust-proof, and shock-proof features in order to adapt to various complex and harsh use environments. In the mechanical design of these kinds of products, the mechanical design protection requirements of the product are higher.

When we choose suppliers, of course, we want the suppliers to be excellent and loyal. This is similar to choosing a partner. However, for many companies, the reality is: that excellent suppliers are usually not loyal enough, and loyal suppliers are usually not good enough, so they continue to develop suppliers, and constantly changing suppliers have become a helpless choice for these companies.
For well-known or giant companies, almost all suppliers are not strong suppliers, because the company's annual procurement volume and industry status will make all suppliers flock to them, and these suppliers want to enter the company's supplier resource pool even if they break their heads. However, the topic of strong attitude supplier management is a topic that medium and small companies may encounter.
