A
very eventful year comes to an end and as usual, too early. We were able to extend our team of experts, to improve the performance of our software solution METUS and have made important partners in the area of PLM-and ERP.
We are looking forward to offering you an exciting and innovative
approach to efficient product development during the next year.
We wish you a holiday season free of stress and all the best for 2011!

Solution
module: Functional design
Functional design is the connection between the requirements for a product and its technical implementation. The core component is the function structure which precisely describes the main functions and detailed functions of the product. In the next step the functional structure is
translated into a technical solution by selection of solution principles – with this approach existing solutions can be questioned systematically and potentials for reducing cost identified.
