Abstract

The enablers are recommended to improve the performance of Lean New Product Development (NPD) processes. This chapter presents an alternative to select enablers for improving the implementation of Lean NPD according to the difficulties of the company’s NPD process. Based on this literature review, a questionnaire was developed to identify the level of implementation for the Lean NPD enablers and the frequency of occurrence of each problem in the portfolio of NPD projects. The likelihood of the implementation of the Lean NPD enabler to decrease the frequency of NPD problems is represented by the correlation level between Lean NPD enablers and problems. The comprehension around this subject allows project managers to drive the NPD process improvement to lean culture, saving resources and maximizing the benefits of this effort.
