It is easy to jump to the false conclusion that Lean Product Development is simply an extension of Lean Manufacturing - focused on cutting waste and eliminating non-value adding activity.
While these are the eventual outcomes, Lean Product Development is much more about creating a learning focused organization. The methodology pioneered by our partner Targeted Convergence Corporation (TCC) can result in:
- 4x productivity gains
- Twice the innovation in half the time
- Major project milestone dates that are consistently met
- Risk management via options rather than via restricting flexibility
- Knowledge reused / shared efficiently between projects
- Rich collaboration with manufacturing design (true concurrent engineering)
- Rich collaboration with suppliers
- Elimination of systemic loop-backs and late-cycle test failures
- Elimination of administrative and compliance reviews and other overhead
- Elimination of end-of-project fire-fighting
The bottom line is consistent delivery of superior quality, innovative products that delight your customers.
