Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD)
Lean Product and Process Development
Lean system for developing products and production processes through knowledge reuse, chief-engineer leadership, set-based design and rapid learning.
Examples
- 01Using Lean Product and Process Development, the chief engineer leads both product and process design from the start.
- 02In LPPD, teams review trade-off curves from past projects before making key design decisions.
- 03LPPD shortens development time because problems are found through fast learning cycles instead of late tests.
