In the dynamic landscape of modern business, companies face the challenge of rapidly introducing new products to meet consumer demands. This research aims to propel NPI efficiency, focusing on the automotive industry, by enhancing cooperative effectiveness and streamlining processes. The overarching objective is to expedite high-quality product with the focus of introducing a controlled escalation process to facilitate swift corrections and improvements throughout each phase of NPI. To realize these objectives, a comprehensive NPI system has been developed. Integration of an escalation process into this system enables hierarchical escalation of concerns, blocking points, and new processes, addressing common project delays.

The integrated escalation process not only addresses anomalies promptly but also quantifies the time taken to restore normalcy or implement corrections, thereby fostering a more responsive and efficient NPI framework. The paper is organized into sections comprising a literature review on NPI methodologies, the integration of an escalation process into the NPI framework, a case study illustrating the implementation of the escalation process in an existing NPI methodology, and the subsequent results.

摘要

In the dynamic landscape of modern business, companies face the challenge of rapidly introducing new products to meet consumer demands. This research aims to propel NPI efficiency, focusing on the automotive industry, by enhancing cooperative effectiveness and streamlining processes. The overarching objective is to expedite high-quality product with the focus of introducing a controlled escalation process to facilitate swift corrections and improvements throughout each phase of NPI. To realize these objectives, a comprehensive NPI system has been developed. Integration of an escalation process into this system enables hierarchical escalation of concerns, blocking points, and new processes, addressing common project delays. The proposed software stands out for its unique integration of the escalation process, ensuring that all organizational members are promptly informed of any deviations using a dynamic project status feature, adapting as the project progresses. The integrated escalation process not only addresses anomalies promptly but also quantifies the time taken to restore normalcy or implement corrections, thereby fostering a more responsive and efficient NPI framework. The paper is organized into sections comprising a literature review on NPI methodologies, the integration of an escalation process into the NPI framework, a case study illustrating the implementation of the escalation process in an existing NPI methodology, and the subsequent results.
