Bad Timing

• The reason why new products are not completed in time often lies in poor planning and in having virtually no quality assurance.
  • Surprises tend to pile up when plans, documents, and product specifications are not properly reviewed.
  • Surprises also occur when steps in the new product development process are skipped in order to cut corners.

• The likelihood of having timely delivery of a new product is greatly enhanced when the entire new product development process is well managed and quality is monitored.
