Knowledge capitalization and time reduction within concurrent engineering concepts: Some applications
This survey presents a new approach aimed at reducing time within new product development processes. The authors have based their proposition on four stages: formalization of the existing decision-making process, improvement of the decision-making process and memorization of know-how. The results of an experimentation using a panel of five firms are described. Among other, the following outcomes can be cited, considering decision-making is efficient in terms of modelization, participation remains necessary and some decisions can be made early in the process.
