Abstract

Lean manufacturing has the revolutionized approach of manufacturing and that can do the same for the new product development (NPD). Today ‘lean culture’ has become necessary and important tool in all types of industries to eliminate all kinds of wastes in the manufacturing process.In this work, a case study was carried out in an automobile industry for reducing the product development lead time. In the process of doing so, lean new product development with IT support was identified as an effective product development strategy. One of the multiple criterion decision making model namely analytical hierarchy process (AHP)is used in this application.
