  The Design for Manufacturability & Concurrent Engineering methodology is the most effective way to develop products
for the best manufacturability, at half the cost, in half the time to stable production, with the highest quality by design,
(here's why); See article on Design for Manufacturability.  See article on how to commercialize prototypes and research.

                              Dr. Anderson's customized in-house DFM seminar is the most effective way to implement this.
 
  Standardization increases purchasing leverage, simplify supply chain management, reduce part and overhead cost,
enhances flexibility, and cuts the speed and cost of product development efforts.  See article on Standardization

 
  Mass Customization can build products on-demand that are efficiently customized for niche markets, various countries, or individual customers. See Mass Customization article
  Build to order can build any quantity of mass-customized or standard products on-demand without forecasts, batches, inventory, or purchasing delays.  See Build-to-Order article and article on how BTO provides several recession strategies for immediate results with little capital cost.
  Product Line Rationalization can rationalize product lines to eliminate or outsource older, low-volume products to immediately increase profits, simplify supply chain management, and free up people to participate early in complete multifunctional product development teams. See Product Line Rationalization article
