Lean Product Development - Low Waste Product Development - Efficient Product Development

2019

After successfully implementing lean principles in manufacturing, Solar Turbines took them to product development processes, reducing firefighting and boosting development velocity. LEI’s Chet Marchwinski recently talked about the effort with Solar Products Manager Howard Kinkade.

Some Differences between Lean Product Development and Functional Product Development


Lean              -                 Functional Product Development

Lean Thinking    -             Functional Management
Rapid Model Replacement  -  Slow model replacement
Frequent model-line expansion - Infrequent model line expansion
More incremental product improvements - More radical product improvements
Heavyweight project managers  -  Lightweight project coordinators
Overlapping compressed phases  - Sequential long phases
High levels of supplier engineering  - High levels of in-house engineering
Design team and project-manager continuity -  Department member continuity
Good communication mechanisms  - Walls between departments
Cross-functional teams  -     Narrow skills in specialized departments


Seven Waste Model Application to Product Development

• Over Production

• Too Much Detail
• Unnecessary Information
• Redundant Development(Reuse
not practiced)



• Transportation

• Information/Software
Incompatibility
• Communications Failure
• Not Standards Based
• Multiple Sources
• Incompatible destinations requiring multiple transport


• Waiting

• Information Created Too Early
• Late Delivery of Information
• Unavailable Information
• Quality Suspect


• Processing

• Unnecessary Serial Processing
• Lack of Needed Information
• Poor/Bad decisions affecting
• Excess/Custom Processing
• Not processed per process
• Too Many Iterations/Cycles
• Unnecessary Data Conversions
• Excessive Verification
• No Transformation Instructions
• Decision Criteria Unclear
• Working WithWrong Level of Detail
• Propagation of Bad Decisions
• Processing of Defective Information
• Multiple Tasking When Not Required



• Inventory

• Too Much Information
• Incomplete Content
• Poor Configuration Management


• Unnecessary Movement

• Information User Not Connected
to Sources Requiring Manual
Intervention
• Information Pushed to Wrong
People



• Defective Product

• Quality Lacking or Suspect
• Conversion Error
• Wrong Level of Information
• Incomplete Information
• Ambiguous Information
• Inaccurate Information
• Tolerance Exceeded
• Poor Configuration Management
