TAI TUTKIMUSLAITOS TAI RESEARCH CENTRE • IMPROVING • THE CONTROLLABILITY • OF PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The goal of the LUCOS project is to develop a method and supporting tools for improving the controllability of product development. FRAMEWORK The LUCOS-framework expresses controllability in terms of four levels and four aspects. At each level the same aspects are considered: • Objects: what to control? • Goals: what to achieve? • Metrics: how to monitor state and progress? • Mechanisms: by which means to exercise control? The aspects at different levels should be interrelated: the corporate strategy should be communicated from the strategic level, through the process and project levels, down to the individual level. PROJECT CLUSTER The LUCOS project cluster consists of a research project carried out by the TAI Research Centre, and five company projects. The companies apply the methods and tools developed in the research project.
