Potter, K.D. Smulders, F.E.H.M. Faculty Industrial Design Engineering Department Product Innovation and Management Date 2013-09-08 Abstract This paper provides an initial attempt to theoretically describe and understand how the composite product supply chain could reach advanced levels of industrialisation. At the heart of this work rest the interface between NPD (New Product Development) and Production as the central point where composite technology innovation takes place. This exploratory research is based on an analysis of qualitative observations gathered through interviews on different cases and interface aspects in the industry. The main goal is to create a theoretical framework on the growth strategies for the sector and understand what can enable increased levels of industrialisation within companies developing composite products and technologies Subject advanced composite industryindustrialisationnew product developmentNPD production interface To reference this document use: http://resolver.tudelft.nl/uuid:e4e09954-609c-47ca-8e67-b913e25aa3e3 Publisher CINet ISBN 978-90-77360-16-3 Source Business development and co-creation; 14th International Continuous Innovation Network (CINet) conference, Nijmegen (The Netherlands) 8-11 Sept., 2013 Part of collection Institutional Repository Document type conference paper Rights (c) 2013 The Authors Files PDF 295577.pdf 408.9 KB Close viewer /islandora/object/uuid:e4e09954-609c-47ca-8e67-b913e25aa3e3/datastream/OBJ/view
