Tiivistelmä
This study is related to Wartsila Finland's new product application, the emergency diesel generator (EOG) set, for the nuclear power plant market. The purpose of this study was to find out how Wartsila could ensure proactive product lifecycle management for information sensitive business, i.e. how the EOG product could be connected to the normal product improvement process, how Wartsila could manage the critical components of the EDG as a part of its change management and how the handover from the factory to Power Plants should be executed.
The results of this study are based on an investigation on the current ways of working with normal products and their modification to fit the EOG product. Many interviews were also carried out in order for different views to be taken into account.
The end results of this research include process descriptions for handling customer feedback, for normal engine product improvement process and its connection to the EOG engine, for supplier change and, finally, templates for the minutes of the engine handover meeting. Also, proposals for further research could be made.
