Lean Product Development™ (LPD) Black Belt Training
Description:
The Lean Product Development™ methodology can be considered the Lean equivalent of the widely adopted Design For Six Sigma. The simplified notion is to design quality and “leanness” into the product before it ever gets to the manufacturing floor where Lean/Six Sigma Black Belts are working. In the ideal world, Lean Product Development™ Black Belts eliminate the need for regular Black Belts.
During the class you will learn the tools, when and how to use them. During the intermediate three weeks a month students are required to apply the LPD tools to their existing product development projects.
