Abstract
The long range objective is a capability, readily usable by typical integrated product teams, to develop innovative advanced technology products quickly, at a minimum cost accurately predicted at the program outset, and at the quality level appropriate for the intended product use. In Part 1 we reviewed data from past development programs for innovative advanced technology products to provide clear and compelling evidence that the objective can be achieved, and further, what the necessary elements are to achieve it. We defined a measure named “Technical Uncertainty Factor” (TUF) and used it to measure past product development programs resulting in a Technical Uncertainty-Rework Cycle (TURC) chart that correlates TUF with rework cycles. In Part 2, we converted the TURC chart into a Product Development Control Lever (Prodecol) chart that enables integrated product development teams to control cost and schedule in developing innovative advanced technology products. In Part 3 we will explain the process of evaluating product development histories and generating TURC and Prodecol charts so that other organizations can develop and implement their own systems to develop innovative advanced technology products on budget and on schedule.
