The AMS New Product Development (NPD) Methodology is designed to
assist the product manager and team in systematically understanding the
customer's requirements, needs and wants as well as their current
competitive position. It leverages a logical and stage-gated process for
product design and manufacturing. Combined with common product and
project management tools, mechanisms and deliverables (via a web-based
application), the AMS methodology guides the NPD team through a
repeatable, successful, and customizable product life cycle methodology.
The AMS NPD Methodology utilizes a six-stage and
five-control gate approach to defining product management deliverables
customizable to each individual project effort. The stage-gated
and customizable approach is basic yet clearly delineates and defines
the distinct discovery, definition, design and manufacturing stages and
the associated deliverables required. This staged approach is
further augmented with distinct control gate processes at the end of
each of the first five product development stages. The Control
Gate process ensures that the proper due diligence has been exercised at
each individual stage, and that adequate product, design and
manufacturing definition has been reached prior to release to the next
product development stage.
Based on years of “in the trenches” product and
project management experience, AMS consultants have seen that product
and project managers are assisted best when a methodology proposes the
required deliverables rather than dictating a rigid step-by-step process
based approach. The use of a deliverable-driven methodology along
with sound product and project management judgment makes for a positive
and accountable combination.
AMS has helped companies in varied industries around
the world to meet their "time to market" goals. Our unique
understanding of project management, organization development and
manufacturing allow us to craft solutions that are real-world and
effective. The AMS NPD methodology will live within your
organization after the initial collaboration allowing its value cost
ratio to be significantly reduced.
AMS believes in producing collaborative client
solutions and in providing lasting value at each client site.
AMS can customize any best practice to fit your
organizational needs. |
