Further Reading Many books have been written on Product Design and Development and NPD / NPI. Four of the favourites are:
The first two focus on the process
while the others concentrate more on the design and NPD
activities themselves. Cooper is the father of the 'Stage-Gate'
process for managing NPI. I like the McGrath book because it is
short(!), and covers a range of NPI process issues. Baxter's book
covers many design-related tools and techniques. Ulrich &
Eppinger's book is takes more of an engineering perspective.
