Lean Management Methods in Product Development – A Case Study
2 likes1,693 views
The document explores lean management methods in product development and contrasts these with lean manufacturing, emphasizing challenges in implementation and the need for top management commitment. It presents a reference model and examples of successful strategies to overcome common barriers like human resistance and information access issues. The study concludes with the development of a tailored model for lean implementation that resulted in significant time savings and increased team motivation through better information management and recognition of individual talents.

Lean manufacturing vs lean product development Lean Management Methods in Product Development A Case Study Manufacturing Visible flux of materials and WIP Easier identification of wastes (stocks, WIP, disorganization, bottlenecks, failures, etc.) Repeatable tasks and processes Product Development Invisible flux of data and information More difficult to identify waste (over-engineering, poor knowledge management, slow access to information, etc.) Strong process variability (less repetitive tasks) Ability to influence teams productivity and the customer defined value and costsAbility to influence product quality, operation costs and productivity
