The competition in the world market for manufactured products has intensified tremendously in recent years. It has become important, if not vital, for new products to reach the market as early as possible, before the competitors. To bring products to the market swiftly, many of the processes involved in the design, test, manufacture and market of the products have been squeezed, both in terms of time and material resources. The efficient use of such valuable resources calls for new tools and approaches in dealing with them, and many of these tools and approaches have evolved. They are mainly technology driven, usually involving the computer. This is mainly a result of the rapid development and advancement in such technologies over the last few decades.
