Projektprioritering för teknikintensiva företag : Vad projektprioritering innebär på TranSiC

Sammanfattning: The purpose of this paper is to get a conception how prioritization and decision making works in technologically advanced companies. We wanted to understand how to administrate models and how to prioritize the best ideas and relate these to technologically advanced companies. How does the company make these decisions and who is responsible?We have chosen to observe TranSiC, a Swedish technologically advanced company that manufacture silicon carbide transistors. They currently have nine employees and mange 10-20 projects simultaneously, but are aiming to expand their business. The empiric research has been carried out as a case study at TranSiC as an interview with the CTO, Martin Domeij. Areas of interest were how they prioritized projects decisions and what elements that had the biggest impact during decision making. We also wanted to understand how they dealt with risks during these decisions. Our paper concludes that TranSiC run several projects on the same problem simultaneously. This is the way they deal with risks, to always have a low-risk project securing a solution. They divided their projects into two categories, required projects and desired projects. Required projects got top priority and it is usually something with the product that needs to be fixed immediately; whilst desired projects are something they wish to improve but it is not critical to the client.
