Lean Product Development

Companies are faced with the need to address their product development challenges innovatively in order to stay competitive in today's market. One way of doing that is the integration of lean thinking in their product development process. However, due to the lack of clear understanding of the lean thinking performance measurements, the near absent of a holistic and unifying measuring method and the near or non-existence of an evaluating conceptual model to allow for the evaluation of the performance of the lean product development processes, many companies are unable to fully implement the lean thinking principle in their Product development process. In dealing with these issues, this article has therefore proposed a conceptual model which is based on some core critical success factors for the examination of lean performance in the product development process.

The Way

In this paper, we present our findings of a survey exploring the adoption of the new product development process improvement concepts in the automotive suppliers sector in Turkey. With this investigation, we aim to uncover differences in the way suppliers are adopting new product development (NPD) process improvement concepts. Our results indicate that indeed the adoption of the concepts varies across suppliers, and two important factors explaining, in part, this result are: (1) supplier involvement in design, and (2) the potential branding impact of the part/modules supplied.
