Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) is the focus and integration of all possible relevant information into
product conceptualization, design and development. It is sometimes called "simultaneous" or "concurrent engineering" and
is often confused with important but less comprehensive product development tools such as Design For Assembly (DFA) or Value
Engineering.
IPPD optimizes a balanced scorecard of customer requirements, design and development costs and resources, production costs,
serviceability, maintainability, revenue generation life cycle, and product life cycle (costs and length). This scorecard
is designed with each client for each product.

Key Elements
-
Management Structure - Formally established executive direction-setting for the development of the IPPD scorecard
and "the-buck-stops-here" decision-making.
-
Team Structure – Appropriate cross-functional teams that carry out the design, development and transition to
production work.
-
Lean Daily Management System - The daily communication
and task management system that the teams use to maintain focus on key issues.
-
Ongoing Real Time Coaching – Embeds world-class approaches as part of your organizational culture.
-
Design and Development Tools – Useful tools such as DFA, VE, CAD/CAM, and others cannot create design/development
success when used in isolation. With IPPD implementation and coaching, these tools and methods can be leveraged with
significantly higher degrees of effectiveness and success.
Benefits
- Development cycle time reduced 20 to 50 percent
- Mid to late-cycle engineering changes reduced 40 to 90 percent
- Product costs reduced 5 to 25 percent
- Part count reduced 10 to 90 percent
- Material costs reduced 5 to 30 percent
- Warranty costs reduced 15 to 80 percent
In Practice
The key element in a successful IPPD implementation is on-site, real-time coaching, guidance and feedback. Kaufman Global
experts provide the day-to-day coaching and direction -- from executives to design engineers -- to assure that the
optimal structures, processes and behaviors are established and reinforced. Essentially, a new design culture is formed
and supported.
