With the underlying. knowledge base of most products becoming more diverse and dynamic, new product development (NPD) teams are increasingly seeking external resources to overcome the learning curves related to new technologies and new markets. The promise of customers as an external resource for new product development has been recognized in practice and in theory for a long time. However, customers have, until recently, played a limited and largely passive role in the development of new products. Specifically, this paper examines the potential impact of technology-based online customer networks on new product development.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

Enterprises with resource limitations have to deal with higher investments in R&D. The firms started to concentrate on what they do best. They focused their in house R&D expenditures on core technologies and sourced other less important technologies externally. But R&D expenditures still are rising. To exploit their technological capabilities in a given time as efficient as possible, firms try to get higher returns on investments. This means that technologies no longer only serve to empower their own products, but also serve as external market objects. Still a lot of enterprises are refusing to exploit their technological knowledge externally fearing losing their crown jewels or just are unconscious of this opportunity. We consider both interfaces of the technology market and the enterprise: external technology acquisition and external technology exploitation, assuming a considerable synergy potential between the acquisition and exploitation process.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

However, systematic examination on the new opportunities and challenges in cooperation and competition between overseas and local firms in e-business is still lacking.

{"title":"Task-centered manufacturing information system: structure and application","authors":"Bin Wu","doi":"10.1109/PICMET.2001.952023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/PICMET.2001.952023","url":null,"abstract":"Demands on manufacturing industry to provide flexibility and to reduce costs have put pressures on manufacturing companies to improve productivity. These demands, coupled with computer hardware and software advances, have encouraged manufacturing information system (MIS) development. As a result the role and importance of a MIS within the manufacturing environment has changed dramatically in recent years. An understanding of the new requirements is essential. In particular, traditional ways of providing manufacturing information to the shop-floor has not necessarily been task related. Rather, general information were made available but needed to be found or located as and when required. Although this has satisfied the requirements of normal operations, there are a number of problems associated with this form of documentation and display. The physical separation of the processes and their descriptions, the procedures, the poor user friendliness, the high maintenance efforts and the inability of the documentation systems to effectively capture process \"know how\" are some of the key problems. These have placed limitations on the use of traditional approaches. As an attempt to improve the situation, this paper discusses the structure of a task-centered, multi-media (TCMM) manufacturing information system which aims to provide a working environment to help the user collect, select and present manufacturing data according to the specific needs of managers/operators. With a task-centered user interface and an integrated computer-based training (CBT) module, such a system can be used at various levels within the organization both as: A reference library to provide information such as products data and operational procedures; A task-centred, interactive system to help carry out on-line operations, and; A computer-aided training tool to train the company's managers/operators. Furthermore, its structure as a \"knowledge repository\" should lend itself to grow and adoptive, as the company's product ranges and manufacturing processes progress through time. A number of intranet-based TCMM implementation are also discussed to illustrate its industrial application.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01.

In this regard, an agility audit packet was prepared and was distributed to selected personnel in three different adhesive manufacturing companies. The packet consisted of questions relating to each of the four dimensions of agility. These questions covered the widest, range of topics possible in order to fully benchmark the level of agility of each company against an ideal case. Three companies were studied and observations were made with respect to the answers that were provided during a series of interviews as well as an in-depth analysis of the survey results. Our analysis shows that all the three companies, more or less follow the same trend with respect to their operations. None of the three companies in this survey was operating near an ideal agile status. However, all three companies were aware of the principles that would lead them towards becoming agile. It was understood that it would not be possible to attain a totally ideal operation, however, a company could continuously strive to become more agile. To help these companies progress towards this goal, the results were analyzed and a series of recommendations were made. This paper summarizes some of our findings in that regard.","PeriodicalId":117603,"journal":{"name":"PICMET '01. Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering and Technology.
