ROI Engineering Excellence Model

Mergers, globalization, and worldwide networking present new challenges to innovation and development. Divergent innovation and development strategies, processes, and organizations should be harmonized in ongoing day-to-day operations and usually in ongoing projects as well.

However, the individual developer is often unsure as to precise procedures, the upstream and downstream processes, and his contact partners within the company, with the customer, and with suppliers. This leads to a high degree of inefficiency in the entire development process – including through unneeded iterations, redundant activities, and absence of conflict resolution and decisions.

The consequences of this often do not become apparent until the end of the development project: market introduction that is too late, development and product costs that are too high, and products that are not mature.

Based on its years of experience with international engineering projects, ROI has developed a generic Engineering Excellence Model, which is adapted and tailored in each consulting project to the company's specific requirements.

The model provides a framework for optimally designed development and highlights the areas where action is needed for improving development in order to create multi-divisional, multi-functional, multi-cultural integration and transparency, thus significantly increasing development efficiency and reducing costs.
