In today's highly competitive market, the challenge of an aggressive product development company is to improve efficiency and productivity, while maintaining or improving quality. That challenge translates into a search for improved process flows and methodologies, which realize greater concurrency between product design and manufacturing process design, while simultaneously compressing and optimizing cycle times. In turn, the traditional wall between design engineering and manufacturing silos must fall.

Horizontal Modeling™ and Digital Process Design™
- 50% reduction in time to create product design and manufacturing process models
- 65% reduction in time spent on editing models
- 75% reduction in total project time
- 100% reusable designs in downstream applications
- 50% reduction in staff and resource requirements
Delphi has embraced and incorporated Horizontal Modeling™ and Digital Process Design™ into the design of many of its products. A study showed that these methodologies boosted designer productivity by as much as 90%. It also helped deliver these productivity improvements:
