Abstract

As innovation cycles are becoming shorter and technological progress faster, the need for reliable decision support for product and production planning is rapidly gaining crucial importance. To this aim, strongly innovation-driven industries like automotive use roadmaps relating products and technologies to a timeline from a specific company’s viewpoint. The roadmapping process, however, is typically neither systematic nor transparent. Furthermore, there is a lack of integration of product roadmaps and production technology roadmaps, although these cover complementary and mutually dependent aspects. This paper investigates the motivation and necessity for systematic and integrated roadmapping with a specific focus on production industries, and introduces a related automotive supplier industry research project that aims at designing and implementing a holistic approach to integrated technology roadmapping.
