Lean practices are best known for identifying and removing waste in the processes, activities and products. Value stream mapping and synchronisation are just a few ways in which Lean helps with streamlining the processes in product development.  Learn from Texavi, the leaders in IT consulting, training and solutions on how to implement Lean thinking and working to identify, manage and remove defects in the product development workflows. Understand how the powerful techniques such as PDCA,DMAIC, Pull theory come handy in removing the excess fat in the processes and get down to the real deal in a efficient and cost-effective manner.
