A Lean company’s goals are both to develop products that better meet customer needs and to ensure that its product development and innovation processes position it for future success. Since typically 75 percent of product costs are set in the design stage, successful Product Development is critical to increasing and sustaining revenue growth.
Our approach does not entail a onetime product fix. Beyond initial improvements, we work to refine the Product Development Process, to bring innovation and speed and transform your product development organization.
Through the use of tools like Value Engineering, Design for Manufacturability, Design for Assembly, QFD, and Production Preparation Process (3P), we significantly reduce the cost of products currently in development.
By improving the process itself, we reduce the time needed to bring new products to market as well as the time needed to evaluate and approve engineering changes, thereby cutting the total cost of developing products.
