Overview
This workshop provides a comprehensive set of practical and easily applied techniques for reducing the manufacturing cost of any product. Participants will learn how to apply these powerful tools to real products, in real-time, without significant organizational changes. The product development process is often complex and poorly understood, but by focusing on reducing manufacturing costs, participants can quickly achieve measurable increases in profitability. These lean cost-reduction methods can be applied to both new product opportunities and existing products, providing immediate bottom-line results.
The tools and methods are presented in a step-by-step approach that follows the typical product development timeline, from idea generation to product launch. Exercises, examples, and guidelines are included to help attendees decide how to implement each tool in their own product development efforts, creating an effective cost-reduction strategy tailored to their specific needs.
