Dwyer Instruments’ engineering department was having a difficult time meeting deadlines with consistency. The company hired CEATH Company to design a process for working with a cross-functional team of engineers, manufacturing, materials and purchasing people to specify a consistent engineering design process that would work for the entire company. This process was then documented in a series of manuals authored by CEATH Company, and augmented by a software system, DEEP (Dwyer Effective Engineering Process) that the company used to track the status of design projects through the process.
