C.J.Holmes (1) , M.B.A. Ferrill (1) , & R. Phaal ( 2) 1. Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology 2.Centre for Technology Management, Institute for Manufacturing, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, UK Abstract
To encourage Singaporean small and medium sized enterprises to move up the value chain, Operation and Technology Roadmapping (OTR) has been developed and introduced to the sector. This technique is based upon the T-Plan process developed at Cambridge University . To-date close to thirty companies have used the process to create a 'first-cut' roadmap. This paper initially reviews the application of roadmapping in small companies, and then highlights the various areas where the companies have applied the roadmapping technique.
