The training is designed for CEOs, CTOs and board members, heads of development and top managers who are in charge of increasing the efficiency of their development processes
Workshop summary
The “Lean Innovation” approach consists of 4 maxims and 12 principles, which name the decisive fields of action, to design innovation processes for value-oriented companies – the “Lean Enterprise”. It was developed at the German Elite University RWTH Aachen together with a consortium of successful German companies like Porsche and Audi.
The structure of the workshop is based on the Lean Innovation principles. This structure serves the chronological presentation, discussion and internalization of its principles and the most important “Lean Innovation” methods. The workshop includes numerous case studies from successful producing companies of various industries to further illustrate the methodology and implementation. During the course of the training, participants are enabled to understand “Lean Thinking” and to transfer this topic into the context of innovation and development processes.
After introducing the fundamentals of “Lean Thinking”, the training is structured according to the 12 “Lean Innovation” principles into the following 4 modules: “Prioritize Clearly”, “Structure Early”, “Synchronize Easily” and “Adapt Securely”.
Experts from the RWTH Aachen University and the Complexity Management Academy, who have developed the Lean Innovation approach and guided several companies during its implementation, conduct the workshop.
The Lean Innovation Principles at a glance
Strategic Positioning based on dominant competencies
- Build-up strategic success positions and dominant competencies proactively. These lead to competitive advantages in the market
- Cascading development and communication of the company’s strategy to achieve goal oriented and waste free development processes
Clear Prioritization of customer values and project objectives
- Structure the stakeholders’ value requirements transparently
- Prioritize requirements and project goals clearly to exactly meet the customer’s value perception
- Avoid conflicts of objectives and waste in development projects
Roadmapping for products and technologies
- Use a cross-functional approach to define product, technology and project planning
- Approach early technology monitoring and technology planning systematically to realize a focused and waste free technology development
Product Architecture Design based on integrated product and production structures
- Define modules with standardized and de-coupled interfaces
- Reuse requirements, functions and technologies in product development
Product Range Optimization based on feature and variant trees
- Assess benefits of product variety
- Analyze complexity costs
- Focus on profitable product variants
Design Space Management based on design sets and degrees of freedom
- Systematic and parallel consideration of alternative solutions to realize new product functions (“set based design”)
- Gradually limit the degrees of freedom in product development
Value Stream Optimization based on process classification and standardization
- Optimization of the development processes
- Focus on the value stream and customer value
- Increase efficiency based on standardization of repetitive processes, process interfaces and transfer of results
Data Consistency “Single source of truth”
- Integration and consolidation of existing IT systems
- Consistency of product data and role-specific user access
- High reliability of IT systems
Multi Project Management and takt oriented sequencing
- Easy planning and scheduling of the development process
- Use standardized controlling-charts for visual management of project status
- Early quantification of deviations
Innovation Controlling based on closed loop control
- Identify the value drivers in R&D
- Define transparent measurable target values for the controlled processes
- Implement short feedback loops for continuous improvement
Release Engineering: Synchronized changes
- Products with long life cycles are continuously updated by issuing planned releases to keep the value proposition for the customer permanently up to date
- Controlling of life cycles of specific product functions
- Continue product structuring activities during life cycle management
Continuous Improvement of innovation productivity
- Description of the Lean Innovation maturity level status based on a 5 step model
- Commonly developed ideal states provide orientation to employees
- Continued challenging and measuring of actual performance to continuously improve processes, structures, behavior patterns and tools
- Continued efforts to avoid waste
