Steps in an effective lean product development process

Specify value for customers

The value that is being created for customers has a significant impact on the success and sustainability of lean product development. Before the actual product development process, manufacturers must look at the existing market and work backwards to ensure that the product being produced will attract the target customers and induce them to make a purchase.

Businesses that place cost reductions ahead of value creation while implementing lean principles often see their lean efforts fall flat. Get in touch with our experts for more insights on lean product development.

Identify value streams

Product development has a major impact on a company’s overall ecosystem. For products to be brought to the market successfully, it is essential to think end-to-end and ensure that all the employees are clear on the job roles assigned to them. Processes in organizations run smoothly when manufacturers, engineers, marketers, and the sales team know their role in the value stream.

Ensure faster flow in the value streams

A lean company always aims to streamline processes and the value streams. This consequently ensures that customers are served faster, lead times are shorter, and improved product quality and flexibility of processes in the organization. This would also eventually result in lower product cost.

Respond to customer pull

Gaining a clear understanding of customer pull is vital to make product development flow faster. Customer pull here refers to the customer demand for a particular product in a market. Eliminating wastes and responding to customer demand effectively would also create a positive customer experience by allowing time to work on things that create more value.
