The company panel. A time-saving, skilful hotchpotch

The design and conception of metal-stamping tools (‘dies’) is an art that has long defied all attempts at simulation modeling. This explains why Cartesian organisation has been failed to control the costs and lead times of the process. Putting different experts together onto a panel creates a wonderful “hotchpotch” that horrifies the purists of rational organisation but can be a goodway to save time and money. This of course depends on how well the panel is organised.
