Abstract
This study addresses the need for the integration of foresight information into the PEP, driven by changing technologies and customer needs. The focus is on developing a model, based on an empirical approach. It aims to enable the initial incorporation and the continuous updating of foresight information into the development process within a monitoring process. This approach represents an advancement of previous methods by providing a flexible and indicator-based integration of information. The model was developed iteratively to improve responsiveness and innovation in product development.
