How is a product developed, how does the purchasing of materials and services work, and how is the disposal of used products handled? In his book, Peter Pautsch takes a holistic approach from product development to disposal and presents all the topics that are important in the product lifecycle. Terms like Lean Product Development, Supply Chain Management, Industry 4.0, and Big Data become less daunting.
