Be among the first to get the latest insights from LEI’s Lean Product and Process Development (LPPD) thought leaders and practitioners. This presentation was delivered to subscribers of The Design Brief, LEI’s newsletter devoted to improving organizations’ innovation capability. It is the third of five in a series on process development entitled “Making Things Well,” focused on developing superior processes as part of the product development process, specifically the skills of tool, mold, and fixture makers, special machine designers, manufacturing engineers, and everything that goes into knowing how to turn a concept into reality. Check out the first and second in the series.
How can you develop capable processes from the beginning and avoid costly rework following a product’s launch? Watch this presentation by Eric Ethington and Matt Zayko, where they introduce the 6CON process development model to help organizations shorten product launch lead times, build in quality from the start, reduce costs, and create flexibility. The model comprises six vital lenses: context, concepts, converge, configure, confirm, and continuously improve. In the presentation, Eric and Matt share their experience and insights on balancing limited resources while developing a new product and using the right resources at the right time.
