Hewlett-Packard's Design for Supply Chain Program

For more than 10 years, Hewlett-Packard has evaluated supply chain impacts on design decisions. Now, Design for Supply Chain (DfSC) is a systematic, repeatable process for product development teams and engineers across the company. DfSC allows HP to consider the impact of decisions: on supply chain partners, including suppliers, manufacturing and logistics service providers, resellers, retailers, and end-customers, and over time, including during the pre-launch, production, and end-of-life phases of the product lifecycle.
