  1. Adler, P. S., A. Mandelbaum, V. Nguyen, & E. Schwerer, "Getting the most out of your product development process" • New product development (NPD) projects typically share resources and are often caught in queues. • Manage NPD like a job shop, i.e., understand utilization. 1. Reduce "bottleneck department's burden (e.g., shift duties to other departments, reduce # of projects, add resources). 2. Reduce variation in time to accomplish activities (identify best practice and reward following it). 3. Reduce variation in overall workload (limit # of projects, introduce a pull system). 4. Consider how urgent projects affect the flow.
