Synopsis
Drawing on in-depth case examples from Black & Decker, Hewlett-Packard, and others, this guide demonstrates how to build entire families of products from a single "platform" of common product structures, technologies, and automated product processes. This guide explains how this strategy spearheads a more advanced, second-generation product platform.
