About this Presentation
Traditionally, manufacturers focus the majority of their business improvement efforts on their production facilities and supply chain management. Many of them, however, can benefit from improving their product launch and development processes. Utilizing the CCPM approach to enable visibility and synchronization of their technical resources not only significantly improves the product launch and development process but also increases revenue and business profitability. This presentation will describe how the application of CCPM to New Product Development and Product Launch processes fits into the overall improvement strategy, called Flow Management System, of a manufacturing business. It will also explain how some manufacturers successfully leverage the CCPM process and the supporting CCPM software to manage their APQP and other development processes, maximizing the profitability of the entire operation. Actual case studies from the automotive, aerospace, defense, and food industries will be used to provide application examples.
