What is Lean Product Development

There are powerful applications of the Lean standards and concepts to the area of development of new products or services. Innovation and product evolutions are key elements in the competitiveness of industrial and service companies. Lean development allows companies to innovate while mastering their development cost and meeting their time-to-market with multiple projects and constrained environments.

Impact

Visible Planning allows simultaneous project / product development teams to visualize and monitor their concurrent planning, conflicting usage of key resources (people, test labs, suppliers) while applying the continuous improvement tools (5-Why, Root Cause Analysis) to their actual project / product development work.

Results

  • Improve your time to market through reduced product development time, reduced pre-launch quality/rework issues with lower deviations from targeted development budget.
