Manual bid processes can lead to slower and less accurate opportunity assessment and higher risk bids. To ensure complex requirements can be met profitably while maximizing win ratios, bid processes should be standardized, automated and fully integrated with technical and business systems.

Implementing a strong requirements management (RM) strategy can help make product complexity more manageable while minimizing time to market. Integrated RM systems can help you capture customer-centered requirements and distribute and enforce them across all design, engineering, testing and order fulfillment cycles. This reduces the number of potential issues and change orders, boosting quality while accelerating cycle times.

Systems engineering helps develop complex systems with an optimal balance of performance, functionality and price. Model-based systems engineering fosters collaboration across disciplines. This collaboration increasingly extends beyond the boundaries of an organization. As OEM products grow in complexity, suppliers need to attend closely to the interfaces between their components and the larger systems in which they will be incorporated.

Realistic simulation is essential for developing complex systems. It improves the ability of designers to understand and anticipate the behavior of their product in standalone form and as part of a larger system, helping them better manage trade-offs. When simulation is integrated throughout the entire development cycle, it can reduce costs and accelerate time to market as well - by minimizing the need for physical prototyping and testing.
