This course focuses on the basics as well as the processes/work
flow. The seminar follows a product (electronic ignition, front-end
loader) through the Release, BOM, Request for Change and the
associated processes. Excercises are included and many questions
asked to encourage participation. Emphasis on subjects you choose.
