- Fokker aims to accelerate product development through a front loading strategy using design automation tools and techniques. This would allow problems to be identified and solved earlier, improving design maturity and reducing costs. - A key initiative is "Rudder-in-a-Month" which aims to standardize rudder design processes and knowledge capture to complete rudder development within one month, reducing lead times and costs by over 50%. - Challenges include integrating different tools and workflows, managing complex parameter interdependencies, and ensuring the new processes remain flexible while supporting concurrent engineering. Cultural changes for engineers will also be required to work efficiently in the new environment.
