The Lean Design Solution

Companies now know that design is the primary driver of lean sigma success. In fact, more than 80 percent of all cost, quality and speed-to-market is set in motion by decisions that are made in the early design phase. The Lean Design Solution shows you how to create solutions that are "lean six sigma" from day one. It gives you a measurement system to make trade-offs among many solution sets. Bart Huthwaite, author and founder of the Institute for Lean Innovation, presents what he has learned from mentoring thousands of project teams over the past 30 years. Huthwaite reveals the secrets of why some projects fail and why others achieve spectacular success. He shows you how to make design for lean sigma systematic, measurable and repeatable. This book gives you the step-by-step knowledge and detailed road map you need for lean sigma results.
