Lean Product & Process Development
1-day
Course Overview: At the dawn of the industrial revolution, product design and process development were often tightly interwoven. Henry Ford’s “Model T” was a prime example of converging design, manufacturing processes, and supply chain to create an entire enterprise. In modern times however, disciplines have become more siloed and cross functional thinking has often been compromised in the process. Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD) is a Lean methodology for reversing that trend and converging both product specifications and manufacturing processes in a manner that is effective in contemporary organizations using modern technologies.
This course provides practical methods for bringing people from various disciplines together to work in a highly focused practical manner while providing optimal solutions to solve customer facing problems and reduce waste while doing so.
