| Abstract: | The specification processes in new product development is critical for obtaining a high quality, low cost and well in- terfaced product. However, despite the rich literature on product development, specification management has been given less attention. By means of two-in-depth case studies in one auto and one aircraft OEM (original equipment manu- facturer) located in Europe, the research reporter here identifies the specification processes in the case compa- nies. Comparative studies are conducted between the specifi- cation processes in the two companies. A model of specifica- tion management that identifies important steps from the conceiving of the idea to delivery and customer feedback is developed. It is concluded that following the steps proposed in the model couls lead to a high quality product. |
