Why focus on product development? -- Lean fundamentals -- Applying lean principles to product development -- Conducting a baseline assessment -- A baseline assessment case study -- Resource and workload management -- Implementing a reuse strategy -- Building the infrastructure for product development -- Selecting the appropriate design strategy -- Software tools for product development -- Integrating the supply chain in the product development process -- Instituting a manufacturing process control program -- Implementing design for Six Sigma -- Flow and cell design for product development.

Review: "In Accelerated Product Development: Combining Lean and Six Sigma for Peak Performance, Clifford Fiore provides the blueprint for implementing the key elements for improving the product development process. His innovative and powerful work represents the first book to couple the proven concepts of Lean and Six Sigma with the engineering processes of product development. His results, based on proven strategies and methodologies, enable companies to significantly reduce the time necessary to develop new products, dramatically reduce product cost, and improve product quality."--BOOK JACKET.
