“…Tatikonda and Rosenthal (2000) argue that process standardization does improve the efficiency of the NPD process, even when projects differ in their complexity. Performance evaluation is the process of evaluating the effectiveness, efficiency, and capability of actions and system to obtain given objectives (Al-Ashaab et al, 2015). Spear and Bowen (1999) explain that process standardization at Toyota accelerates learning and adaptation, with a view to continuous improvement, and provides a basis against which improvements can be measured and implemented.…”

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the standardization of the new product development (NPD) process on its efficiency. A dilemma exists with regard to determining to what extent NPD processes should be standardized, in order to not hinder the operators during the performance of NPD process and consequently, weaken it. The case analysis for this study was carried out at a company whose process development has been standardized for a decade and has undergone several degrees of standardization. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were applied in the study. A regression method was used for quantitative research in order to study the effects of selected dependent and independent variables; using qualitative analysis, we supported the findings of the quantitative analysis. The results of the analysis indicate that the standardization of the NPD process does have an impact on its efficiency. From the obtained results, it may also be concluded that a very high degree of standardization begins to reduce the efficiency of the NPD process.

“…To yield long-term effects, changes occurring in a company as a result of lean concept application must include organizational structure, business culture, and performance reporting system. This does not mean abandoning the existing organizational structure, business culture, and reporting systems, but their continuous improvement, because organization, culture, and reporting identified indicate advantages, disadvantages, potential business problems, and areas where some of the lean techniques and practices need to be applied (Al-Ashaab et al, 2016). Lean business concept is not universal and cannot be applied in every company in the same way (Sekerez, 2009).…”

Changing modern business environment necessarily triggers the need to constantly search for new business concepts, management modes, and performance measurement systems. In recent decades, lean business concept has been widely applied in companies. This concept focuses on creating value for customers. The value refers to the delivery of products and services with all the characteristics required by customers, just in time, and at the lowest price possible. As the basic task of the company is to satisfy different needs, it is understandable that the company success will depend on the success in satisfying its customers’ needs. In this sense, the research subject in this paper is defining a possible system of performance measures in companies that apply lean business concept. The research results show that Balanced Scorecard can be applied in companies that apply the basic lean principles. This is because it primarily takes into account the value delivered to customers, and, based on this value, forms performance measures within the given perspectives. Also, an important aspect of Balanced Scorecard refers to internal processes and learning and growth, which lean concept particularly concerns.

“…LPD consists in getting the most efficient and continuous process. In order to ensure the process efficiency, it is crucial that key indicators to be reached by this process are well identified [11]. The combination of those two aspects is classically called "Value".…”

First developed for manufacturing context of the Toyota Production System, the Lean approach has been extended to product development about 20 years ago. Lean Product Development approach emphasizes on a method to implement a flowing development process. However, some tasks require decision milestones that can interrupt this continuous process flow. The paper focuses on safety engineering, an aspect which requires decision milestones due to standardized validation processes. It proposes a specific way to integrate safety constraints into a continuous and flowing process of Lean Product Development. To perform the safety integration in Lean Product Development, the proposed method simultaneously addresses process improvement of both product development and safety control. The proposal is a five-step method addressing the whole product development process from the requirements engineering step to the validation of the product prototype. This method was tested on an industrial case study and implemented into PLM Teamcenter.
