Managing NPD: Cost and Schedule Performance in Design and Manufacturing
在一家领先的航空电子制导系统制造商收集数据，分析设计阶段和制造阶段的时间与成本绩效，并考察监督、设计专业化强度及客户互动水平的影响，强调利用设计制造间相互依赖的必要性。
In this field study, conducted at a leading avionics guidance systems manufacturer, we gathered primary data on time and cost performance of both the design and manufacturing phases of new product development (NPD). We modeled the impact of the management levers relating to oversight, the intensity of design specialization, and the level of interaction with the customer. The study highlights the necessity of leveraging the interdependencies between the design and manufacturing phases in NPD.
