The R&D Effectiveness Index is introduced to address this need. It measures effectiveness by comparing the profit from new products to the investment in new product development. Provides the details for calculating the index along with alternative interpretations. Finds a strong relationship between the R&D Effectiveness Index and other performance factors and argues that the R&D Effectiveness Index can be used to compare performance, measure improvement, and evalute business units. Illustrates its application in a case study.","PeriodicalId":113037,"journal":{"name":"World Class Design To Manufacture","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133577803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An agile manufactuing enterprice is a dynamically reconfigurable organization of independent companies which forms individual companies optimized for the specifics of each market opportunity. Key to the success of such a paradigm is the ability (for often geographically dispersed functions) to share fully the technical information required and used for product design, development, validation, production and service.

As a result companies are increasingly challenged – by competitors, government regulation, public pressure, or good conscience – to improve and manage their processes and products from both an environmental and an economic standpoint. To be effective, these efforts, to the extent possible, need to address the energy uses and materials flows related to the entire cycle of production, consumption and ultimate disposition.
