History of the iTiD INDEX
 | iTiD Consulting developed the "iTiD INDEX" as a diagnosis tool for new product development capabilities. |
 |  Basic processes in product development are identified in the index to isolate the effect of technologies which are dependent to the product or generation. |
| The "iTiD INDEX" proved to be effective in identifying problematic areas in development prior to providing consulting services. | |
 | iTiD disclosed the index to Japanese manufacturing companies in order to enable comparative studies among them. |
 | The 2nd round of survey was held in Japan with 72 companies participating. |
 | We are spreading this study worldwide. |
| ACTANO and ITI joined as partners in the global survey. | |
| Companies in North America and Europe will be surveyed in 2008. |
