Techniques for Mapping, Analyzing and Improving Complex MultifunctionalProduct Development Processes

Existing methods and techniques for process mapping will be considered to develop a process

framework which will be adapted to perform analysis and provide improvements to the process.

Analysis techniques will be applied to detect redundant, duplicated or misaligned process activities.

Results will provide means to assess and evaluate the discrepancies between the actual and desired

processes. Solutions will be developed to reduce these discrepancies to obtain a smoother, leaner and faster process.

The process map to be built consolidates different viewpoints of the process and the engineering

knowledge to reflect the interdependencies and the information flow throughout the process. This will

contribute to improvement of the structural awareness across different functions that contribute to the

process, thus foster more effective coordination of the work. Application of the process suggestions

that will given as the deliverable of the project will allow faster and leaner development proces
