What is SCPD's Mission?
To promote the application of Concurrent Engineering (CE) and Integrated
Product Development (IPD) in organizations located in the eastern
United States.
How will SCPD accomplish this mission?
- By providing forums for the interchange of ideas and the sharing
of knowledge and experiences of product realization teams and
professionals;
- By recognizing and involving leading best-practice companies
in the application of CE and IPD in chapter activities;
- By enriching and extending the CE and IPD Body of Knowledge
in theory and practice, contributing to the effectiveness and
profitability of member companies.
Our Vision
Industry and other professional societies recognize the Boston Chapter
of SCPD as the best value and most accessible source for the advancement
of product development practices in the eastern United States.
Our Values
The Boston Chapter of the Society for Concurrent Product Development
holds these principles as fundamental reasons for our commitment
to SCPD and participation in its events.
Leadership - to embrace rapid product realization techniques
and to advance our nation’s economy, driven by ourselves,
our companies and our Chapter Sponsors.
Member Recognition - to individuals in our organizations as facilitators
of improvement, to our companies and to Chapter Sponsors for foresight
in fostering environments that lead to the adoption of improved
design practices.
Learning - to satisfy our thirst for continuing personal development
and renewal and to provide an accessible resource for industry
as a whole, bringing new knowledge and skills to the workplace.
Networking - to stay abreast of industry trends, to interact
with like-minded professionals and to identify opportunities for
business relationships.
Friendship - to make professional acquaintances and to solidify
old relationships; taking the SCPD meeting as a professionally
rewarding yet enjoyable "time out" from the pace of
daily work.
