Early 1900's

Henry Ford develops the 'assembly line' establishing "flow"

"If I’d asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse"

The Toyota Production System

Toyota visits the Ford Assembly line

Concepts for "Just-in-time" & stock-less manufacturing developed

Thank you!

Origins of Lean

The Machine that Changed the World

Lean philosophy originates from the manufacturing sector and has proliferated into numerous other industries over the years

Author James Womack formally coins Toyota's approach as "Lean Manufacturing"

Lean Healthcare

Western manufacturers begin adopting & applying Lean principles

Requirements

Design

Implementation

Verification

Waterfall is a linear (non-iterative)

approach to product development

which often works well when the problem and solution are well known and minimal design changes are expected

Maintenance

The Lean Start Up

Agile

An iterative, incremental approach to software development

Best used when requirements and solutions are evolving

Cross-functional & co-located teams collaborate and self organize

The Lean Start Up Methodology

Shortens product development cycles

Iterative product releases

Leverages business-hypothesis-driven experimentation

Fail fast

Goal is to maximize learning

Foster rapid learning & discovery

Benefits of

The Lean Start Up

A Simple Example

Building a Electric Bicycle

Waterfall

Build entire bike for customer and obtain feedback on performance and quality

Agile

Build the seat, pedals, wheels, brakes etc. and obtain feedback from users on performance and quality of each component before completing a bike

Lean Start Up

Build the "minimum viable" seat, pedals, wheels, brakes and bike and obtain feedback from the customers on if there is a market for an e-bike? Continue to 'learn & build' based on continual customer feedback

Cost & Cash Effective

A Video Description

The Lean Start Up Methodology

What is a Minimum Viable Product?

A Basic Product

(Just enough features)

  • Build faster
  • Co-located teams
  • "Fail fast"
  • Develop the Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
  • Innovate faster
  • Develop split tests
  • Continuous releases

Metrics Worth Measuring

  • Acquisition - "How do people find you?"
  • Activation - "Do users have a good experience?"
  • Measure the right metrics to demonstrate start-up progress & success
  • Analyze metrics & split tests
  • Retention - "Do users come back?"
  • Revenue - "Will people pay for it?"
  • Referrals - "Do users tell others?"
