Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how companies manage complex software development with a range of strategic and organizational approaches, as well as technological approaches. The author begins by reviewing how products such as books, textiles, guns, paper, and automobiles evolved from a craft-like job-shop or batch production to large-scale design and production for mass markets. The author then classifies companies' strategic management of engineering and manufacturing into five basic types based on the level of customization and automation, ranging from job shops/craft environments to highly automated and highly flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). The author applies these same categorizations to engineering, proposing that there are also five analogous strategies for development organizations, and that companies can achieve significant standardization and rationalization of the development process even if they cannot or will not standardize their end products. The author then presents a survey comparing these strategies in US and Japanese companies, revealing that the Japanese producers appear to have set higher standards for process analysis and defect control, and general production management and productivity. The author concludes that this disciplined, centralized, factory-like approach to software development may lead to significant improvements in quality control, scheduling control, and nominal productivity.
