An pre-study to a research project will initiated with the following theme. Today the introduction of a complete process orientation in accordance with the quality management systems like ISO9000/TS16949 will have an effect on the pre-phases of the business projects, both in innovation and in industrialisation.

The required activities and deliverables will be performed within sub-process, instead of in pre-phases of the project.
