Product Lifecycle Management: Driving the Next Generation of Lean Thinking | Book Series

Overview:

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the newest wave in productivity. This revolutionary approach is an outcome of lean thinking; however, PLM eliminates waste and efficiency across all aspects of a products life–from design to deployment–not just in its manufacture. By using people, product information, processes, and technology to reduce wasted time, energy, and material across an organisation and into the supply chain, PLM drives the next generation of lean thinking. Now PLM pioneer Michael Grieves offers everyone from Six Sigma and lean practitioners to supply chain managers, product developers, and consultants a proven framework for adopting this information-driven approach. Product Lifecycle Management shows you how to greatly enhance your firms productivity by integrating the efforts of your entire organisation. Most companies are seeing the returns of their efforts in lean methods diminishing, as the most fruitful applications have already been addressed.

Product Management in Practice | Book Series

Overview:

Product management has become a critical connective role for modern organisations, from small technology startups to global corporate enterprises. And yet the day-to-day work of product management remains largely misunderstood. In theory, product management is about building products that people love. The real-world practice of product management is often about difficult conversations, practical compromises, and hard-won incremental gains. In this book, author Matt LeMay focuses on the CORE connective skillsĀ  communication, organisation, research, execution that can build a successful product management practice across industries, organisations, teams, and toolsets.
