Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Technical University of Denmark
4. Purposes, uses and limitations of the
IPD model
Purposes: The model will help you to understand
IPD and will help you interpret progress and
in NPD projects as well past projects
Use: The model can be used as a checklist to
identify the relative position of a project and
any phases that may have been left out
Limitations: The model will not tell you what to
do next or which phases are most important
to consider
But mainly... it helps you an IPD mindset!

5. Case Study
This case study will help you to relate the IPD
model to a real situation
It is also give you some idea of the type of
documentation produced during a real
development project

13. Background - Objective
â˘High interests have been elicited from
customers like Craft and Nestle for an
integrated pourer for the packs using
metal closures.
â˘It would allow them to offer a product
with much more functionality while
keeping their current capping facilities.
