The Problem
Ford Heavy Truck Development in Dearborn, Michigan uses
DADiSP
for several everyday tasks to improve efficiency and productivity in the
area of product development. Since Ford keeps data acquisition and
analysis operations in separate departments, we asked Heavy Truck
supervisor Rich Bond to describe how DADiSP helps make the
"divide-and-conquer" approach to dealing with data both efficient and
cost-effective.
Need For A General Purpose Tool
Rich Bond's engineers may be called upon to work on
any component of a vehicle, or they may work on data taken on a
complete Heavy Truck as it travels down a public highway. As such, a
general purpose tool that can be set up to quickly accommodate the
current job is required.
