Successes in lean manufacture have led researchers and practitioners to consider extending 'lean' different parts of the engineering enterprise, including product process development (PPD). Lean (PD) has been understood mean applied PD, while roots PD – just like go back Toyota. This article presents methodology adopted order pave way towards a coherent model that combines lessons from Toyota system (TPDS) with other best practises. The provides unique review research area, reference...

The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) can be considered as a strategic measurement tool. Many companies have applied it to measure four key aspects of their organisations' performance: financial, customer, internal business process and learning growth. Although is widely used in the arena, this original BSC was not developed assess impact collaborative research projects under an open innovation strategy, where outputs development by undertaken industry universities should measured different way....
