Establishing flow (i.e. projects, knowledge creation, decisions, information and enterprise knowledge) with new product development is instrumental in eliminating waste and reducing time to market. It is a key component of creating a lean process, when work is done on demand in a continuous sequence of value-adding steps without delays, reversals or rework.
"In new product development many challenges exist that prevent flow," said Hafer. "SDS provides the techniques to overcome obstacles to flow-including how to efficiently front load projects to identify and solve problems during early phases, manage knowledge, manage risk, effectively perform several tasks at the same time, focus design on customer need and prevent endemic rework."
