A focus on improving the cycle time and
productivity of your product and process development functions by as
much as 4x through the principles of knowledge-based engineering
The Lean Product Development Initiative (LPDI) is a set of products
and services built around the findings of the successful NCMS
collaborative project, Product Development Process-Methodology and
Performance Measures. These findings, based largely on the Toyota
paradigms, focus on development from a knowledge based perspective
rather than the traditional control based perspective most common in
companies today. As a result of this project, NCMS has a goal of
deploying the results to its members and to North American
manufacturing companies in general. Accordingly, LPDI is offering
workshops, training, books, consulting, change management, etc for
companies wishing to make a great leap forward in their product and
process development productivity and cycle times. |
