This paper analyzes an actual business-academia collaborative project from the viewpoint of stage gate approach (we call this approach “stage gate analysis”). Stage gate analysis is a method of reviewing a finished project and summarizing it, whereas conventional stage gate management is used to control an on-going project. The case study analyzed is a project undertaken over a period of 6 year...

Stage-Gate has become a popular system for driving new products to market; but there are many misconceptions and challenges in using Stage-Gate. Challenges faced in employing Stage-Gate are identified including governance issues, over-bureaucratizing the process, and mis-applying cost cutting measures such as Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing in product innovation. Solutions are offered, includi...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how small businesses may deploy a formalised Stage-Gate approach to new product development (NPD). The original Stage-Gate framework was modified to better suit a small business B2B environment in the seafood industry, and was subsequently applied to a small vertically-integrated crab catching, processing and marketing business. Design/metho...

This paper presents a two stage operational transconductance amplifier realized using floating gate MOSFETs in differential inputs. A configuration of two stage operational transconductance amplifier using floating gate MOSFET for low power and low voltage applications is presented. Here we design a two stage operational transconductance amplifier using floating gate MOSFET in HSPICE 180nm CMOS...

In this paper we present a floating-Gate differential amplifier input stage with tunable gain. The input stage can be used in a differential ultra lowvoltage (ULV) floating gate (FG) transconductance amplifier. Measured data for the subcircuits operating at 0.8V, 0.5V and 0.3V are provided.

the objectives for this study were first to understand and estimate energy consumption in each stage of production and processing of milk using regional data and second, suggesting improvement opportunities. a cradle to gate assessment of market milk was performed by separating the system into three stages: agronomy, animal farm and processing plant. data were collected from multiple sources e....
