Mastering Lean Product Development A Practical, Event-Driven Process for Maximizing Speed, Profits, and Quality ~ Ronald Mascitelli

This Practical Implementation workshop presents a set of leading-edge, practical tools for slashing waste and increasing speed and efficiency. The “lean methods” described in this workshop enable dramatic reductions in time-to-market while freeing up valuable resources for additional project work. This hands-on workshop covers all aspects of the subject, including a step-by-step process for customizing your own lean process that will enable rapid, high-value product development.

Who Should Attend… Product-line Managers,Team Leaders Task Managers, Functional Managers, Six-Sigma Blackbelts, Green Belts, Improvement Champions, Operations and Engineering Managers, Process Owners, Design Engineers, and all others with product development responsibilities.

Participants will take away a practical plan for executing a real-world development project in less time, with higher margins, and with enhanced quality and customer value. Specific topics include:

• How to energize your current development

process through an event-driven, highly collaborative design methodology

• A powerful new tool for connecting the voice-of-the-customer directly to product requirements

• Identifying and mitigating risks to cost, schedule, and quality

• Managing resource capacity in a multi-project environment

• Lean Scheduling and constraint (bottleneck) management

• The LPD Visual Workflow Management System

• Cost reduction through Quick-Look Value Engineering and Lean 3P methods

• Enhancing productivity through Time-Slicing and Visual Communication

5 Reasons to Attend…

Upon completing this course, students should be able to:

1. Dramatically accelerate the development of high-value new products.

2. Reduce product cost through Toyota-based innovation and process preparation techniques.

3. Improve the quality and efficiency of customer / team / management communication.

4. Maximize the productivity of scarce human and capital resources.

5. Develop a culture of discipline, value-focus, and intolerance of waste.

Despite an increasing need for speed and efficiency, much of the effort expended by product development teams is often unnecessary and potentially wasteful.

“Firms that have embraced these practical, waste-eliminating tools have reported up to 50% reduction in launch schedules, significant improvements in gross margin, and enhanced customer satisfaction”.
