Lean Product Development

Achieving Lean Development

Aras Innovator^® enterprise software solutions are designed to support Lean product development preproduction preparation for Lean manufacturing and the Lean supply chain. New product programs take into account the core considerations for the Lean environment resulting in improved product launch performance.

Program management, product engineering, and quality planning incorporate Lean processes and visual management in a process-oriented approach from concept through development and launch.

Coordination Challenges, Core Considerations

Lean enterprise processes extend into product development and critical considerations are essential to ensure new product margins:

Which design requirements are essential to Customer Value?

Will a new product slot into an existing Lean Product Family or will it constitute an entirely new Lean Product Family?

Will materials, components, parts, and assemblies be sourced from ‘preferred’ suppliers qualified for pull-based Kanban fulfillment?

Are existing Value Streams and Sequence of Events considered during the development of a new product’s manufacturing process?

Is launch performance measured to target areas for improvement?
