Lean Product Development Toolbox
How to Increase Efficiency and Slash Time-to-Market
|
|
Despite an increasing need for speed and efficiency, much of the effort expended by product development teams is often unnecessary and potentially wasteful. In many cases, only one or two hours of a team member’s work day is actually spent directly creating value for their customers. The Lean Product Development workshop presents a set of leading-edge, practical tools for slashing waste and increasing speed and efficiency for any product development process. The “Lean methods” described in this course enable dramatic reductions in time-to-market while freeing up valuable resources for additional development work. Firms that have embraced these practical, waste-eliminating tools have reported up to 50% reduction in launch schedules, dramatic improvements in gross margin, and enhanced customer satisfaction.
This workshop is based on the newly published The Lean Product Development Guidebook, by Ronald Mascitelli, and is presented by the author.
