Manufacturing project management FAQ

What is manufacturing project management software?

Manufacturing project management software is a specialized tool designed to plan, execute, and track projects across the entire manufacturing lifecycle. Unlike standard project management software, it includes industry-specific features such as supply chain coordination, CAPEX tracking, ERP integration, regulatory compliance management (ISO, APQP), and phase-review workflows. These capabilities help manufacturers align projects with corporate strategy, optimize resources, manage complex product launches, and ensure quality control across globally dispersed teams and suppliers.

What is new product development (NPD)?

New Product Development (NPD) is the end-to-end process of bringing a new product to market, from initial concept to final production. It involves multiple stages, including ideation, design, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing. Effective NPD management ensures faster time to market, optimized resource allocation, and regulatory compliance. Cerri Project helps manufacturers streamline NPD with structured workflows, document management, and stage-gate approvals, ensuring projects stay on track and within budget.

What is a Stage-Gate process?

The Stage-Gate (or Phase-Gate) process is a structured project management methodology used to evaluate and control projects at key decision points (gates) before moving to the next phase. Each stage (e.g., concept, development, testing, launch) is followed by a gate review, where stakeholders assess progress, risks, and feasibility before approving the next step. In manufacturing, Stage-Gate ensures better project governance, risk mitigation, and alignment with business objectives, making it essential for NPD, process improvements, and CAPEX projects.
