Abstract

Ramp-up, as a critical phase in the life cycle of a new product or service, can significantly affect business success and market leadership. Moreover, in today’s dynamic business environment manufacturing and service companies face many difficulties such as changing customer requirements and high uncertainty in both demand and supply. To remain competitive, there is a need for quickly responding to changes while considering uncertainty. The aim of this paper is to introduce a conceptual framework for agile ramp-up management based on agile development, Stage-Gate model and business process modeling. The comprehensiveness and applicability of the framework are evaluated through interviews with practitioners in the fields of industrial management and additive manufacturing.
