New Product & Project Delivery
Accelerated Engineer-to-Order Execution
Deliver Projects Faster Without Compromising Quality or Scope
Project-based businesses often face long lead times, missed delivery commitments, and constant firefighting. Whether it’s a new product launch or a custom-built engineering solution, delays can cost both revenue and market share. We help you reduce project durations, improve resource flow, and hit your targets without scope creep or overload.
Our approach aligns engineering, procurement, and production teams around shared priorities. By eliminating multitasking, rework, and poor scheduling, we create a seamless flow from design to delivery — enabling predictable timelines and greater client satisfaction.

Our Framework
A Structured Approach to Faster, Smoother Project Delivery
1.Identify Delays
We pinpoint what’s causing slippage across functions and teams.
2. Prioritize Flow
We align activities to reduce multitasking and improve coordination.
3. Implement Controls
We introduce simple tools to track progress and manage variability and project delivery.
4. Sustain Performance
We build feedback loops that support continuous improvement and on-time delivery.
Your Growth Starts With a Conversation!
When projects get delayed, budgets overrun, and teams stay overwhelmed, the problem often lies in how work flows — not how hard people work. We help businesses identify where project management is breaking down and build systems that restore control, clarity, and confidence. Let’s talk about what’s slowing you down — and how to fix it for good.
What do you mean by "Rapid New Product Development (NPD) & Engineer-to-Order (ETO) Project Management Solutions"?
These are our specialized services designed to help you significantly accelerate your time-to-market for new products (NPD) and improve the on-time, on-budget delivery of complex, custom-engineered projects (ETO). We achieve this by implementing robust project management methodologies, with a strong emphasis on principles from the Theory of Constraints.
How does the Theory of Constraints (TOC) specifically help accelerate New Product Development?
In NPD, TOC helps identify the primary bottleneck in your development pipeline – often critical resources, decision-making processes, or testing phases. By applying TOC principles, particularly Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), we focus on:
- Protecting this constraint.
- Reducing harmful multitasking.
- Managing project buffers instead of individual task deadlines.
This leads to shorter overall project durations and more predictable completion dates for your new products.
Our Engineer-to-Order (ETO) projects are often late and over budget. How can TOC address this?
ETO projects are inherently complex. TOC and CCPM provide a powerful framework to:
- Identify the “critical chain” – the longest sequence of resource-dependent tasks.
- Strategically insert project and feeding buffers to absorb variability and protect the completion date.
- Improve resource synchronization and reduce conflicts.
- Focus the team on finishing the entire project faster, rather than just individual tasks.
This leads to dramatically improved on-time delivery and better control over project costs.
What is Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM), and how does it relate to TOC?
CCPM is the Theory of Constraints’ application to project management. It shifts the focus from managing individual task deadlines (which often include hidden safety margins) to managing the overall project timeline and protecting it with strategically placed buffers. It emphasizes identifying and managing resource constraints and eliminating practices like bad multitasking that slow projects down.
We have many NPD/ETO projects running simultaneously with limited resources. How does your approach help?
This is a common challenge where TOC/CCPM excels. Instead of allowing resources to be spread thinly across too many projects (which delays everything), we help you:
- Strategically stagger project starts based on true resource capacity (especially of the constraint).
- Implement a “full kit” approach to ensure projects only start when all prerequisites are ready.
- Focus resources on completing active projects faster before starting new ones, increasing overall throughput of completed projects.
How does this approach differ from traditional project management techniques like PERT/CPM (Critical Path Method)?
While traditional methods focus on task dependencies and the critical path, CCPM adds a crucial layer by explicitly managing resource constraints and human behavior. It:
- Removes hidden safety from individual tasks and aggregates it into project buffers.
- Actively discourages early starts and bad multitasking.
- Provides a clearer focus on protecting the overall project completion date.
This often results in significantly shorter and more reliable project durations compared to traditional methods alone.
What are the typical results we can expect from implementing your TOC-based NPD/ETO solutions?
Clients typically see:
- Significant reduction in NPD cycle times and ETO project durations (often 25-50% or more).
- Vastly improved on-time delivery rates (often exceeding 95%).
- Increased throughput of completed projects with the same or fewer resources.
- Reduced project chaos and less firefighting.
- Better resource utilization and team morale.
