Lean Development

Added value excellence in product formation

For management functions of the product formation process from medium sized companies

Why this kick-off event

In the areas of the product formation process, significant improvement potential is sometimes concealed. Many of the current improvement projects in these areas mostly concentrate on individual function areas within the product formation process (innovation, development, process planning, purchase etc.). As a consequence, there are as a rule only marginal successes right up to contradictory target setting and orientation in the areas.

Short project lead times, high adherence to deadlines as well as optimal quality, i.e. market and customer orientated products with acceptable costs and budgets are challenges for the management.

In order to be at the front in this increasingly competitive environment, it is essential to implement a holistic and interdisciplinary product development system, which allows maximum performance when using and adhering to the „Lean elements“.

The product development process begins in this approach with the idea – the product concept – and ends with the successfully completed production start.
