In this webinar, I share how Kanban is being implemented across new vehicle development projects at Jaguar Land Rover to improve time, cost and quality. I’ll share the results of a Kanban product development proof of concept to accelerate design and development, the success of which is driving adoption across multiple programs.
You’ll see how Planview AgilePlace is enabling our adoption of Kanban by helping cross-functional teams visualize work and collaborate more effectively to manage complexity and change. As a result, we’ve reduced rework and are delivering new product programs faster, with lower cost and improved quality.
Accelerating Product Development Flow with Kanban
Modern automotive engineering is extremely complex: A new vehicle can take 2-4 years to develop, with an estimated cost of delay of about $2 million per day. Shortening feedback loops and minimizing handoff delays can have a considerable impact in reducing product lead time.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Why new product development provides rich opportunities for continuous process improvement
- Benefits and challenges of transferring Agile software techniques to hardware design and development
- How to visualize work, focus on flow and increase cross-functional collaboration using Planview AgilePlace
