Abstract: | Given the potential risks of new product development projects (NPD), the characteristics of the design tasks solving-time distributions are critical for their effective management. In OR we need to find what operational characteristics of design tasks may delay projects. Other researchers already identified the technological novelty, the magnitude of the design tasks, the interactions between design tasks in an NPD project, and the balancing between projects among the most important causes of the unpredictability of the design tasks lead times in NPD projects. |
