It is also where many of the downstream costs are committed by virtue of the decisions made during design .Therefore good management of an efficient process will also provide the opportunity to optimise the product more effectively, to meet customer expectations product costs time to market . Each stage divides into a series of distinct activities with well defined deliverables. Progression onto the next stage is only achieved when these deliverable have been met. During Preliminary Concept Definition, one or more concepts that potentially satisfy a market opportunity or requirement are evaluated to determine the preferred solution. Functional, physical, schedule and cost targets are established and the business is able to define the capabil
