Common Challenge

Organisations today are using new business processes, approaches and enabling technologies to continually improve New Product Introduction (NPI) processes in pursuit of launch excellence. With available resources, improving all aspects of new product introduction at once is next to impossible. On the other hand, some of the improvement opportunities are obvious for the team whereas others may require more a structured assessment approach. A structured assessment will help to answer questions like:

  • What are our strengths and weaknesses?
  • Is our NPI process aligned with our strategic objectives?
  • What improvements need to be made and what are the priorities, given the resources available?

Remember best practice implementation is more sustainable when adapted to business needs.

Solution

Industry Forum has developed an effectiveness assessment for new product launch. The assessment combines the current state process mapping approach following Lean principles and a technical assessment, considering the best practice criteria to launch new products. A facilitated approach is taken to build consensus in the team on how far the best practice needs to be implemented, considering the needs of business.

Benefits

  • Detailed and structured current state NPI assessment
  • Cross-functional alignment on improvements required in area of NPI
  • Agreement in team on how far to adapt best practices for business needs
  • Independent view of current state NPI process maturity and targets for future state
