Abstract

Given that there are more non-value-added parts of product development process for technological innovation in enterprises. This research puts forward and applies the product development value stream technology on the basis of the theory for traditional value stream. Then the paper takes a case about product development of a manufacturing enterprise to analyze the whole process of product development from product planning, preliminary design, detailed design, and prototype test to put in production. According to analyze, we find the waste stages in the development and optimizing the development process. According to the contrast between two figures of development value stream in current and future situation, we find that the optimizing method can help recognize effectively the waste in the process of product development, cut down the period of development, reduce R&D costs, improve product development efficiency, and satisfy clients’ needs.
