From 24 to 12 months
Previous to 1990 the Swiss company Ascom needed 24 month to design and develop telephones.
Integrated Design was introduced by the design team and we shortened the time of development by another 12 month.
From 12 to 9 months
3D Computer Aided Design was introduced which initially reduced time for development from 12 to 9 month.
From 9 to 6 months
The process was optimized with CAD/CAM facilities.
