During the New Product Development process, build a system of metrics to monitor progress. Include input metrics, such as average time in each stage, as well as output metrics that measure the value of launched products, percentage of new product sales and other figures that provide valuable feedback.
Work done by a system decreases the internal energy of the system, as indicated in the First Law of Thermodynamics. System work is a major focus in the discussion of heat engines.
Applying the first law of thermodynamics to an adiabatic process, we obtain: 1  A system that expands under adiabatic conditions does positive work, so the internal energy decreases.y Andrew Zimmerman Jones. Definition: An adiabatic process is a thermodynamic process in which there is no heat transfer (Q) into or out of the system. In other words Q = 0.
