(2003-03-27)Presentation on integrating the lean enterprise -
Multi-team Integration: Interdependence and Integrative Mechanisms
(1996-07-07)The drive towards Integrated Product Development (IPD) includes an impetus to organize around Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). The use of IPTs has brought with it many issues, including those at the IPT interfaces. ... -
Myth Buster: Do Engineers Trust Parametric Models Over Their Own Intuition?
(2007-06-12)This paper explores the abilities of engineers to estimate everyday tasks and their reliance on their own intuition when performing cost estimates. The approach to answering these questions is similar to that of the ... -
