Welcome by Brian Peacock, General Motors
DR. PEACOCK: Welcome to this afternoon session. This is going to be on product design. We were to have had three different speakers, but unfortunately, Jerry Duncan from John Deere couldn't be here. So Bill Marras has agreed to step in. Most of what we're going to be talking about this afternoon is design for manufacturing.
We're very privileged to have with us Bill Marras and Rob Radwin who will tell us something of the university perspective on design.
