Die praktische Anwendung moderner Methoden in der Produktentwicklung und Konstruktion sowie die Bewertung von Innovationsstrategien sind fur Unternehmen von vitalem Interesse. Bei verkurzten Innovationszyklen und wachsender Komplexitat der Aufgaben sind effiziente und fur die Praxis geeignete Methoden zur Organisation des Entwicklungsprozesses erforderlich.

Der Autor beschreibt die in der Praxis erprobten Methoden und zeigt ihre Anwendung an Beispielen. Durch die Verknupfung von Innovations- und Wissensmanagement werden Vor- und Nachteile sowie die Grenzen einzelner Methoden deutlich. Dies betrifft die Innovationsfahigkeit und Qualitatsbeurteilung in der Produktentwicklung, interessiert aber neben den Konstruktions- und Entwicklungsleitern auch das obere Management sowie die Abteilungs- und Gruppenleiter in der Fertigung und Montage.

Zu den beschriebenen Methoden gehoren u.a. die Problemlosungs-Theorie TRIZ, das Quality Function Deployment (QFD), das Ishikawa-Diagramm, die Prozess-Struktur-Matrix (PSM), die Fehlermoglichkeit- und Einflussanalyse (FMEA) und das Imagine-Prinzip."

Career Pathways is a system of organizing student learning interests and aptitudes around career fields. The model grew out of the federally funded National School-to-Work Opportunities Act (1994). Briefly, a career pathways high school starts with the career clusters, for students to align themselves with in high school. Depending on the school location and capacity, there are a variety of career clusters that are offered - engineering, health, science, art/design, writing, business, agriculture, etc. - and a curriculum is built around the individual pathway and career field - e.g. nurse - that the student chooses from within their career cluster. This is a student-oriented model of self-determination, in which students choose a curriculum area that matches their aptitudes and abilities. Core curriculum is still taught throughout each silo, so standardized testing is accommodated. Career pathways allow students to connect their learning from year to year, to practice their strengths and skills to prepare for transition to college or work, to work as teams, etc. It does not require a high school to overhaul their system, but instead shows how high schools can integrate the pathways model to work within a school and make it a more connected learning environment.
