Ensuring Reliability in Lean Product Development

by Mr. John Paschkewitz, ME

Many companies have begun their lean journey and have implemented lean manufacturing methods. The next step is applying lean to other processes including product development. While Lean New Product Development (Lean NPD) does focus on customer value and eliminating waste, it is also a front loaded, knowledge based approach. From a quality and reliability perspective, this should be viewed positively because it offers the opportunity to do what is needed to ensure robust and reliable products.

This seminar provides in introduction to Lean NPD and shows how it can be applied to reliability requirements definition, design decisions, risk assessment and mitigation, critical characteristics and process control, product testing, data analysis, and failure analysis / corrective action to improve product reliability and robustness.

Class exercises and class discussion tailor each session to the participants.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Engineers and Managers in New Product Development, Reliability, and Quality.
