- 2. 2Best Practices in New Product Development.pptxFrom cost focus to product value management – Analysis of >400development projects reveals new product development best practices> In the last few years, the challenges for new product development have increased tremendously.Companies are facing intense competition from emerging markets, stricter standardization andregulations as well as changing customer behavior and requirements> If companies fail to get the development process right, their products will flop or be too expensive(up to 80% of all product-related costs are determined in the development phase)> We have analyzed over 400 product development projects at leading manufacturing companiesand identified best practices in new product development. The key findings are:> Successful companies focus on product value rather than merely on product costs> By doing so, they both satisfy customers and increase product profitability> Successful companies improve product value by using effective new productdevelopment methods and also by creating the right frameworkManagement Summary

- 5. 5Best Practices in New Product Development.pptxSuccessful new product development is a growingstrategic challenge for many companies> Increasing global competition in all major markets:More new products from new competitors> Shorter and shorter product lifecycles: Companiesare forced to churn out new innovations and newproducts in shorter times and greater frequency> High failure rates in many industries: Up to 60% ofnew products/innovations flop> Early cost determination: Up to 80% of product-relatedcosts determined already in the product developmentphaseBackground and challenges for companiesNEW PRODUCTDEVELOPMENTis afor companiesgrowingstrategicchallenge
