Introduction -- Importance of effective project management -- Tools for product development -- Principles to guide product development -- Conclusion.
With the unrelenting force of global competition driving industrial organizations, many organizations are attempting to turn their new product development process into a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Many companies have employed individual tools to improve the effectiveness of the design development process but few have employed them within the framework of a guiding set of principles or philosophy. This paper attempts to tie the various tools into a new product development philosophy based on set of principles so that the philosophy can be used to guide the entire new product development process. This paper discusses the applications, advantages, and disadvantages of a set of five tools. These tools include activity based accounting (ABC), concurrent engineering (CE), design of experiments (DOE), quality functional deployment (QFD), and design for manufacturability (DFMA). These five tools are then incorporated into a design philosophy in an attempt to improve the new product development process based on a set of eight principles. Applications of the tools as they support the principles are discussed to obtain an understanding of one type of progressive new product development process. As background, the paper discusses the various functional responsibilities in a modern industrial organization and the importance of early market entry when launching new products.
