Automotive

Current instabilities in the automotive industry are placing ever-increasing pressure on engineers and managers to reduce costs and improve quality. At the same time, they must meet or exceed high safety standards, while addressing a changing variety of customer feature preferences, including making additional features and functionality available to consumers at lower cost. Finally, increasing global competition makes a shorter time-to-market even more critical to success than ever.

For the past decade, Red Cedar Technology’s HEEDS® MDO design optimization software and consulting services have helped automotive engineers discover innovative, optimized designs faster, and with reduced material and manufacturing costs. Faster development time translates into a shorter time-to-market, giving our customers and clients a competitive advantage.
