New Product Introduction

New Product Introduction

New product introduction is complex and can be a daunting task especially for companies who are entering new markets. It is the basis for market effectiveness. It is critical to have well thought through new product development process and to follow it through to the launch. Even in the best situations product programs go awry.

Reasons for this include but aren’t limited to incomplete business cases, changes in the marketplace, difficulty with the product design, poor planning, lack of teamwork (individual teams and divisions), etc. It is imperative that companies introduce a “known good product” which consists of the following attributes:

  • Meets quality and reliability goals
  • Can be produced within the specified cost targets
  • Has lead times that exceed customer expectations
  • Generates revenue over its lifetime
  • Provides competitive advantage
  • Sustainability in the marketplace
