The 1:10:100 problem
Analysts estimate that every design error that is found and fixed in the design stages would cost 10 times more if found during engineering, and 100 times more if it is found during manufacturing. This well known 1: 10: 100 ratio, while often thrown around by software vendors with abandon, still remains a challenge for manufacturers everywhere.

Yes, design errors that trickle down into later phases still remain a constant problem to manufacturers today - a barely solved issue that generates significant costs to your company in time, performance and money.

In 2004, Toyota Motor Company found that its design quality was not improving, regardless of how much time was spent on detailed, albeit manual, design review. In addition, the exponentially-growing size of the 3D CAD design data was making the company’s manual design review processes yet more error-prone. The company decided to act.

With XVL Studio Pro by Lattice Technology, the company started testing its traditional milestone design review processes alongside automated Design Review with XVL. The company had an aim to have absolutely minimal design errors in the data by the third design review while maximizing design quality.

Did they achieve their needs? You can find out more about how Toyota revolutionized its Design Review process using XVL Studio as well as how Design Review using 3D data works in this white paper.
