Competition is global and the implementation of Lean principles has emerged as a predominant operational improvement strategy to achieve a competitive advantage. The challenge is bringing Lean outside of production and supply chain operations and applying these same strategies to include other engineering processes and groups. Your Product Development is the ideal area to implement lean principles.
