Abstract
This paper presents a new paradigm for the validation phase of product and process development. Manufacturers that continue to embrace new methodologies and business practices will not only remain competitive in the global market but also set the benchmark for competition. By using an integrated validation approach like functional build, manufacturers may accelerate the product development life cycle while saving costs in manufacturing process development
