Lean in Research and Development

Home » Lean & Operational Excellence » Lean in Research and Development

Product Development and Introduction is a critical end-end value stream for most  companies, particularly for those that have put R&D and Innovation at the heart of their business strategy.

BSM specialises in helping organisations to re-engineer their R&D and New Product Development processes to significantly and sustainably reduce time to market and improve commercial success. We routinely employ the following best practice in consulting assignments:

  • Phase Review Product Development Model
  • Portfolio Management
  • Concurrent Engineering
  • Design for Manufacture / Assembly / Test / Packaging
  • Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA)
  • Matrix Structure & Cross-functional teams
  • Project Management
  • Performance Metrics and Display.

BSM believes in:

  • Implementing a new / re-engineered process that is appropriate to the type of product development being undertaken (i.e. a streamlined process for low risk products; a more extensive process for high risk projects).
  • Killing new product projects when they don’t meet evaluation criteria.
  • Pro-active management of idea generation.
  • Having an organisation structure that is designed to support new products.
  • Deploying new product project teams that are truly cross-functional.
  • Project teams having full responsibility for the project through to market launch and post launch review.
