2018 Annual Conference

Lean thinking has revolutionized manufacturing around the world but few companies have been successful in applying the principles to a product development or innovation creation process. That is unfortunate because the benefits of lean thinking in the innovation process can have benefits much higher than those realized in a manufacturing process. At Goodyear, where more than 1,500 new products are developed every year, the on time delivery has increased to over 90% and the development times were reduced by 75% while increasing the throughput by a factor of 3X. This session will examine the lean principles to speed up the product development process and how to develop a roadmap to implement such a process in any organization.
