Vinodh, S; Selvaraj, T and Praveen, T (2012) Design and development of agile product development cycle for rotary switches. Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology, 10(3), pp. 380-396. ISSN 1726-0531
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to conceptualise and develop various phases of agile product development cycle (PDC) for a manufacturing organization. Design/methodology/approach: The literature on agile manufacturing (AM) has been reviewed. Agile PDC has been conceptualised and the implementation study has been conducted in a rotary switches manufacturing organisation. The various phases of agile PDC have been performed and the inferences have been derived. Findings: The outcome of this research indicated the power of agile PDC as an enabler of agility in contemporary manufacturing organisations. Research limitations/implications: The developed PDC has been test implemented in a single manufacturing organization. However, the model could be extended to several organisations. Practical implications: The various phases of agile PDC have been systematically explored and the practical inferences have been derived. Originality/value: The conceptualisation and development of various phases of agile PDC is an original contribution of the authors.
