Multidisciplinary design problem solving on product development teams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)
This investigation, conducted under the auspices of the Lean Aerospace Initiative (LAI), studied how engineers from different specialties interpret and communicate about technical design problems while working on product ...
Modeling and analyzing cost, schedule, and performance in complex system product development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
In the future, it is unlikely that complex system products will compete solely on the basis of technical performance. What will differentiate such systems and their developers is the ability to balance all the dimensions ...
Strategic technology investment decisions in research & development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Reduced DoD product development time : the role of the schedule development process
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
According to the Packard Commission, "Unreasonably long acquisition cycles -- ten to fifteen years for major weapon systems is a central problem from which most other acquisition Problems stem." Since the commission issued ...
Building information systems to integrate the manufacturing supply chain
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Causes and impacts of Class One engineering changes : an exploratory study based on three defense aircraft acquisition programs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Past studies on engineering changes have focused on products other than defense aerospace products, and have concentrated primarily on the design-manufacturing interface within single companies. Thus, engineering changes ...
