14. What can be done to make NPD Quicker? 14 The Queue The Work The Rework

15. Queuing is a question of capacity 15 Waiting time / Average Process Leadtime Percentage of Capacity Used 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 0 5 10 15 20 2x 5x Single Arrivals Project Delays due to Queuing

20. We need a sensible way to calculate loading… effortlessly 20 Standard project types have pre-defined ‘rough-cut’ resource profiles for critical resource areas Forecast Resource Requirements included just by defining project type and Gate Dates What-if analysis by switching individual projects on and off
