- In the '50s the goal of CE may have been to get a product out the door
- as quickly as possible, at the expense of quality and safety. That is
- certainly not true today. Completion of the first article may actually
- take longer with CE than without it, but the goal is that the first
- article will require less rework in the production phase due to fewer
- problems in quality, machining, packaging, etc.
