Lean New Prodcut Development at Group Health
After years of successfully using Lean to improve the quality of their healthcare products, Group Health has taken on the product development process itself. The Seattle-based integrated health plan and healthcare provider adopted an innovative process that has reduced development time by 1/3, increased stakeholder involvement, and emboldened development teams to broaden their horizons.
Lean and Regulation
A Lean Response to Regulatory Pressures
Companies in the medical device industry are confronted with a double challenge. As manufacturers, they face the usual pressures to continually shorten lead and product development times and reduce costs. In addition, they have to virtually eliminate quality-related risks and comply with a complex array of regulations.
