Abstract
The need for shorter development times, lower costs, and higher quality requires improving the performance of the product development process (PDP) continuously. Therefore the evaluation and monitoring of the product development performance is of great interest for companies wishing to increase their competitiveness. However, there are very few approaches for the performance measurement of the PDP. For this purpose, a process monitoring cockpit with the overall goal to enhance the PDP regarding time, costs, quality is presented. This approach for measuring and continuously improving the current state of a company’s PDP has been validated in an industrial case study.
