Takahiro, Fujimoto Young-suk, Hyun product line auto industry product development performance Japan United States Draft Over the past decade, firms in the auto industry have focused much of their attention on new product development performance. This paper reports on a follow-up study to Clark and Fujimoto's research on product development performance in the 1980s. We find that US and European firms have made significant strides in meeting Japanese product development performance. Driving this improvement have been changes in the use of suppliers, in overlapping phases of the development process, and in the type of project management system used. We also find that Korean auto makers are relatively efficient in terms of lead time and engineering productivity, although final design quality is lower. The narrowing of the competitive gap in the management of individual projects may point to product line performance as a future driver of competitive advantage. 2002-09-11T15:29:16Z 2002-09-11T15:29:16Z 1995 http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/1649 en_US IMVP Sponsors Meeting 1995; 2981835 bytes application/pdf application/pdf |
