Lean Development
Squaring the circle – that is frequently the task facing development. The market makes greater and greater demands of development, and these become more and more contradictory. For example, ever shorter development times with a simultaneously increasing number of new products while development budgets remain constant.
We tap potentials through excellence in the product development process (PDP), from the market requirements and the product definition to the starting of series production and/or to the delivery of the product to the make-to-order manufacturer. By implementing the correct methods and strategies it is possible to shorten development times, increase quality and at the same time to reduce costs. Here we focus especially upon avoidance of waste in the product development process, product design suited to production, the reduction of variants and complexity, start-up management / ramp-up, project excellence in high-speed (critical chain project management) and product lifecycle management.
The benefits to you
The conversion of organisational effort into innovative capacity improves your output of products and innovations that are consistent with your strategy. The holistic optimisation of the product development process generates measurable benefits for your company. This manifests itself in the form of more profitable products, better product quality, shortened time-to-market, reliable production start-up and better resource efficiency, i.e. more projects can be realised with the same team. hortened time-to-market, reliable production start-up and better resource efficiency, i.e. more projects can be realised with the same team.
