Lean Product Development:

Slash Development Costs and Get to Market Faster


Despite an increasing need for speed and efficiency, much of the effort expended by product development teams is often wasteful.  In many cases, only one hour in a team member’s eight-hour workday is actually spent directly creating value for their customers.  The Lean Product Development workshop is a two-day beginner level Lean Solution that presents a set of leading edge, practical tools for slashing waste and increasing speed and efficiency. 

This workshop will give structure to your organization’s product development activities. Participants will learn how to prioritize projects and resource them adequately, so that high value products get to market in the shortest time possible, while simultaneously capturing the maximum amount of customer value with minimal cost.

Firms that have embraced these practical, waste-eliminating tools have reported up to 50% reduction in launch schedules, dramatic improvements in gross margin, and enhanced customer satisfaction.  This hands-on workshop covers all aspects of the subject, including the step-by-step process for tailoring your own Lean process that will enable rapid, high-value product development.


Lean Product Development is the first workshop in a series of three Lean Solutions dedicated to the product development process.  The focus of this workshop is the reduction in time to market for new products.  The second workshop in this series is Lean Product Design, which focuses on reducing the manufacturing cost of new products prior to launch.  The third product development workshop is Lean Product Innovation, which focuses on new product positioning via successful differentiation strategies.
