“…Žužek et al [18] further supported this statement through an in-depth case study in a Slovenian medium-sized manufacturing company, where they showed that combining APM practices with concurrent product development principles can evidently increase the level of project agility and positively impact project success. Customizing a company's standard project management approach by implementing individual APM practices based on individual project's characteristics instead of adopting an entire APM method has also been suggested by Brandl et al [55] and Gabriel et al [56].…”
In order to survive in today’s highly competitive global market, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have had to transition from sequential to concurrent product development, which significantly shortens development cycles, reduces costs, and ensures high product quality. Despite its many benefits, concurrent product development is still based on detailed upfront planning and cannot address the challenges related to today’s ever-growing uncertainty, constantly changing environment, and unstable requirements. A potential solution to this problem could be in more flexible and value-driven agile project management (APM) approaches, typical of software development. In this paper, we propose a new product development model specifically appropriate for SMEs that combines concurrent product development principles with APM elements. It is designed as a loop of five repetitive steps (macroplan, microplan, iteration activities, review, and retrospective) that are being executed within individual concurrent development loops. The application of the model is presented on a real case example of process development and small batch manufacture of a complex wiring harness. The study reveals many benefits of the proposed model, such as improved communication, faster detection of discrepancies, more effective problem solving, and greater flexibility. A positive impact on project success is also observed.

“…So, we can single out the works that offer operations management during an incomplete project management life cycle. For example, [7] presents elements of setting up traditional operations management approaches in terms of technological tools for production planning. The work [8] focuses on the functioning of supporting project management subsystems.…”
Section: Literature Review and Problem Statementmentioning
It is shown that the production processes of project-oriented enterprises focused on manufacturing complex knowledge-intensive products combine project and operational activities. Analysis of project management methodologies in terms of their suitability for managing the activities of project-oriented enterprises engaged in manufacturing these products was conducted. It was found that project management methodologies do not address this issue, remaining outside the scope of project managers. To eliminate this shortcoming of the project management methodology, it was proposed to supplement it with the concept and method of coordination of project and operational activities in the process of manufacturing complex knowledge-intensive products.
The concept of integration of project and operational activities in the process of manufacturing complex knowledge-intensive products was proposed. A method of coordination of project and operational activities in the process of manufacturing complex knowledge-intensive products was developed. The following criteria were proposed: management of operational processes as processes depending on the progress of projects; evaluation of the success of projects taking into account the assessment of their provision with products of operational activities. A model for calculating the number of components to be produced during the implementation of projects of manufacturing complex knowledge-intensive piece products was developed. The method of multiple simulations of project and operational processes in projects of manufacturing complex knowledge-intensive products was proposed.
The developed concept and method passed practical testing at enterprises engaged in manufacturing complex knowledge-intensive products, in particular, Karbon Invest, LLC (Ukraine), and showed high efficiency of managing projects of manufacturing complex knowledge-intensive products. The developed tools allow creating integrated management systems for project and operational production of complex knowledge-intensive products.
“…Nas organizações, a correlação de investimentos com projetos se tornou algo fundamental e que exige maturidade, devido ao planejamento e controle que este necessita para obter sucesso (Brandl et al, 2021). Nos empreendimentos no qual existe a realização de investimentos para se atender as estratégias traçadas o gerenciamento assume grande importância.…”
O gerenciamento de aquisições é fundamental para as organizações a fim de serem eficientes e eficazes nas contratações de produtos e serviços. Com a alta demanda por financiamentos as empresas buscam maior eficácia nas suas contratações, com isso a terceirizações dos serviços vem aumentando, as empresas procuram as áreas específicas com a terceirização de empresas especializadas garantindo assim o resultado desejado. O gerenciamento das aquisições trata da obtenção de produtos e serviços externos à equipe do projeto. Pode-se subdividir em quatro subprocessos: planejar o gerenciamento das aquisições; conduzir as aquisições; controlar as aquisições e encerrar as aquisições. Deve-se garantir que todas as etapas trabalhem interligadas. O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal abordar sobre a gestão de aquisições no gerenciamento de projetos, através do estudo de caso para a implantação de um processo industrial de tratamento de óleos e gorduras. Demostra assim a aplicação das técnicas do gerenciamento de aquisições em um estudo de caso para mostrar o sucesso da gestão, bem como na tradução dos objetivos estratégicos da organização em projetos para que, de fato, os resultados almejados sejam alcançados. Conclui-se que o que tem sido realizado em campo pela organização está seguindo as boas práticas do guia PMBOK, utilizando todos os processos de planejar, conduzir, controlar e encerrar e com isso tem demostrado que a eficiência no gerenciamento de aquisições tem beneficiado o projeto como todo.
