Lean Product Development Whitepaper From CoCreate
CoCreate Software announced the availability of a new whitepaper, OneSpace 3G PLM: Achieving lean product development. The paper is available at: http://www.cocreate.com/lpd_whitepaper.cfm .
Globalization is introducing new competitors, new opportunities and new ways of working. Product lifecycles are compressing in a race to satisfy customer wants ahead of the competition. Companies face rapidly evolving designs under intense time to market pressure. Rigid product development processes that can't respond to change and dynamically adapt are broken.
The solution lies with lean product development. With it, companies unleash speed, flexibility and responsiveness to change within the product development process.
Lean product development:
* Eliminates the waste of re-design, faulty design and data duplication
introduced by inflexible design systems and time differences between
locations.
* Responds rapidly to change, allowing opportunities for more design
iterations to occur within development and accommodating even major
design changes later in the design cycle.
* Offers speed for time-to-market advantage.
* Enables true team design, eliminating bottlenecks common in linear
development processes.
* Transitions design to manufacturing for a continuous flow
from concept to production.
* Transparently engages distributed design, supply and manufacturing
partners in the product development process.
This whitepaper highlights the differences between linear and lean product development processes and how the OneSpace product suite helps companies in their lean transformation.
