Lean Analytics Association - LAA

Lean Analytics Association - LAA LAA collaborates with organisations in their transformation journeys LAA`s mission is to develop a network of global lean product development experts.

Therefore LAA collaborates with companies, universities, consulting firms, other associations, and lean experts. LAA was founded in 2012 as a spin-off association from the LeanPPD Project of which objective was to adopt lean thinking in product development. We provide lean product development training, assess the leanness of product development processes, and carry out on-demand consulting and res

earch projects. Resources:
- LAA website: whitepapers, presentations, videos, and successful stories.
- Workshops on set-based concurrent engineering, value stream mapping, A3 LAMDA, knowledge-based life cycle, and lean assessment of product development processes. History:

From February 2009 to January 2013 a consortium of industrial, academic and research organisations collaborated on the Lean Product and Process Development (Lean PPD) research project funded by the European Union. These organisations included Rolls Royce, Indesit, Volkwagen, Visteon, Sitech, Sisteplant, Cranfield University, Tecnalia, Politecnico di Milano, EPFL, ATB, and Warwick University. The objective of the LeanPPD project was to enable companies to adopt Lean Thinking in the Product Development process. As a result, the LeanPPD model, and its associated tools and methodologies, were developed and tested with the support of the industrial partners. With the support of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the Lean Analytics Association (LAA) was launched in Switzerland in 2012 as a non-profit organisation to disseminate and exploit the LeanPPD project's results.
