Managing Product Platforms: Delivering Variety and Realizing Synergies, to be held on April 2 – 3, 2015, introduces “commonality” – the sharing of components, processes, technologies, interfaces and/or infrastructure across a product family – and how it can help companies develop better products more easily, improve product family planning and lifecycle management, and increase corporate profitability.
