For the Queensland Department of Regional Development and Manufacturing
In difficult times businesses need to hone their innovation efforts to survive and thrive. With design influencing more than 70% of a product's final cost, increased use of design principles across the manufacturing process will help manufacturers:
lower costs
bring products to market faster
be more competitive
grow and employ more Queenslanders.
The Design in Manufacturing Program aims to:
raise businesses' awareness of the importance of design in manufacturing
highlight the opportunities for advanced manufacturers arising from the use of design and engineering analysis software, new materials and advanced manufacturing techniques in a digitised economy
showcase a local manufacturer utilising design for advantage
identify sources of advice and information that will strengthen businesses' design capability
showcase the benefits of incorporating design principles and practices in manufacturing production and processes.
Presenters:
