Abstract
Illustrates the advantages of goal definitions at the earliest stages of product design, both for project engineering teams and for the general management of the design process. Details the progress of a Respironics team which was given the task of redesigning a manual resuscitator to meet demanding quality, standards and short time‐to‐market deadlines. Offers an explanation of their success in meeting these and other requirements, including reduced cost, improved ease‐of‐assembly and added features.
