Abstract
Business Process Innovation Project had been performed in Hitachi Ltd., Semiconductor and Integrated Circuit Division (Renesas Technology Corp. since April 2003) for two years since 1999. In this innovation project, a new project management method using organization's standard WBS sheets, had been developed, introduced and deployed organizationally. Comprehensive approach, including not only solely proposition of the new method but also preparation of supporting tools and establishment of project management office, had been adopted to introduce and deploy the new method. Finally, 100% deployment of the new project management method into the organization was achieved. As the consequence of it, we achieved the improved results such as: (1) the engineers' rate of essential efforts was improved 55% to 80%, (2) the number of remakes was decreased 29%, and (3) the number of deficit projects was decreased 80%.
