Abstract

Innovative firms have product development as one of their core processes; optimizing this process, regardless the product will be mass-produced or custom made, must be a firm's priority. A common approach is to treat the product development as a project, where Project Management is essential to organize and lead the efforts. The Toyota development system is a benchmark in the automotive industry and has been widely accepted in other sectors with dramatic benefits. This work presents an approach to derive a project activity network pulled by the stakeholders' requested value. The first part of the paper introduces the value creation in product development. In sequence the issues to planning to lean development are discussed. Finally the four-step approach is presented and the first three steps are explained through the analysis of real project data.
