Holistic quality control of development processes in simultaneous engineering

: Pfeifer, T.; Homering, J.; Siegler, S.

Abstract
The robustness of development processes can be achieved by an effective quality control concept which is presented in the following. The objective of a consistently controlled business process is to balance the interests of all process partners at an optimal degree. This concept bases on the process-structure-matrix (PSM) developed at the Fraunhofer IPT. A knowledge based information system, currently developed in a research project, promotes more transparency for every process partner with respect to his position in the development process.
