Implementing Innovations Successfully

Every company relies on innovation to compete globally. However, creative ideas are mostly insufficient if you want to translate an innovative spirit into commercial success. The ability to put a new product or a new process on the market as quickly as possible is becoming increasingly important. Systematic management is necessary for developing cost-effective and successful products based on market realities and customer requirements. Especially open innovation, which is currently intensively discussed and widely implemented, requires consideration. Only a sensible interface and information management is capable of generating overall success from a variety of good ideas. +Lean Design for Six Sigma is an approach for such a systematic innovation management. This concept was developed to achieve a target-oriented realization of innovations and is +Lean strongly associated with the Six Sigma methodology, currently applied globally to opti – +Lean mize existing processes. DFSS synthesizes a number of key factors, including the active integration of employees, customer-oriented development, the reduction of complexity in products and processes, and controlling of innovation in terms of a standardized procedure. The present toolset represents the proven approach UMS takes when putting Design for +Lean Six Sigma into practice. Its individual tools are assigned to the process model Define, Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify in a clear and manageable structure. This structure can be considered as a red thread and makes it easier to apply the tools in practice and organize an innovative product and process development that is target-oriented and ef- cient.
