Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2004. Includes bibliographical references (leaf 28). This thesis discusses various approaches to project management. In particular, it focuses on the effects of functional and project coordination when inter-project interactions exist. Various organizational structures and their corresponding advantages and disadvantages are first presented. The effects of theses organizational structures on projects with and without inter-project interactions are then studied. Next, difficulties that may arise from combining various management structures with profit maximization are analyzed. Finally, it is shown that by managing inter-project interactions effectively, rapid design transfer is achievable. This allows both quick product development and relatively new design in products, while requiring limited financial and organizational resources. by Eric Anthony Dominguez.
