A talk by Don Reinertsen. Don is the author behind the awarding winning book, The Principles of Product Development Flow: Second Generation Lean Product Development

Lean methods have been used for over 50 years in production processes, producing huge economic benefits. They are based on many principles that are transferable to product development. In fact, these methods are the only practical way to simultaneously achieve large improvements in the speed, quality, and cost of product development. However, using lean methods in product development requires some insight. Certain methods that work in Lean Manufacturing are toxic in a product development environment. For example, if we try to eliminate all variability we will, as an unfortunate side effect, eliminate all innovation.

This talk will introduce you to the science and some of the practical methods of Lean Product Development. It draws upon ideas from a variety of domains including queueing theory, telecommunication network design, computer operating systems, and lean manufacturing. It will introduce you some key lean methods such as economic models, queue management, batch size reduction, WIP constraints, and cadence. It is intended to provide a quick exposure to some of the most important ideas of second generation lean product development.
