Abstract
This paper represents an attempt to shed light on an important issue for development of production management, namely the orchestration of several individual development projects and initiatives of different type and nature necessary for achieving an overall significant improved performance.
The paper will first introduce three types of development initiatives:
(1) Crossfunctional development; (2) Functional development; and (3) Local development.
Then incremental and innovative changes will be discussed and a more differentiated classification will be proposed. This provides a framework for modeling different development processes which will be illustrated by means of two case examples. In addition, the results of a Danish survey on Continuous Improvements will be related to the three types of initiatives. Tentative theoretical and practical implications will be outlined.
