Processes
A sequence of activities aimed at achieving an objective is defined as a process. Processes are initiated to transform an undesired initial condition into a desired final condition.
In product development product specific and multidisciplinary procedures have to be distinguished. A product specific process is aimed towards the new or further development of a product, whereas cross-divisionary processes are not focussed on one product but represent measures applied to the entire cooperation.
An essential factor for success is to match process activities and resources. This calls for an extensive knowledge of the different steps of a process in order to identify weaknesses and potential for optimisation.

Darauf aufbauend können strategische Entscheidungen3
durch eine entsprechende Adaption der Prozesse umgesetzt werden
Im Rahmen von Forschungsprojekten analysieren wir gelebte Prozesse in
der Industrie und transferieren prozessrelevante Forschungsergebnisse
in die Praxis. In der Lehre ermöglichen wir den Studenten u.a. in
teamorientierten Studienarbeiten die Produktentwicklung selbstständig
als Prozess zu erfahren.
