What lean tools and system (lean product development) structure will you suggest? Thanks
You can use VSM (value stream mapping) to identify wastes in your process and then find corrective actions to reduce those wastes.
Yo can apply Value Stream Management following the steps listed:
-Commit to Lean
-Choose the process to improve
-Make the map of the current state
-Identify metrics
-Map the future state
-Create Kaizen plans
-Apply Kaizen
Some key questions are:
What adds value to the customer?
What is my process map?
What do I do to create continuous flow?
How do I get the consumer to take what he requires?
How do I achieve excellence?
It is important to identify theLean level of the product:
1. Analysis of customer demand
2. Increased production flow
3. Leveling of production
Seeing the answers I am not sure if your question was regarding the adoption of Lean in product development or in production?
If you mean Product Development you can see some insights in the following two papers... one about LPD in small and medium sized enterprises and one about the transition from Lean to Smart Product Development (Industry 4.0)
