Case Study : Integrated Approach for Prioritization in Automobile Development Process

  • Published : 2002.09.01

Abstract

A successful product development process can not be achieved without a proper focus and prioritization. For this research, the priority is defined as the relative urgency of a system compared to other system in order to develop and launch a successful product. The process of integrated approach for prioritization using ID and Goal Programming is developed. The development of a mid-size car by an internationally reputed automotive company is described as a case study.
