Lean Agile Product Development – Twice the product in 1/3rd Less the Time

The Lean Agile APQP Product Development System is a paradigm shift in New Product Development. It’s a full implementation of Lean PD enablers with tools and metrics, integrated with Agile techniques to deliver PPAP on schedule with quality, the first time. Developed for system, hardware and software applications, the Lean Agile APQP System delivers product and PPAP in two-week time periods called Sprints. Omnex product development consultants work with your product design team(s) from any point in the APQP cycle to scale the system as required. Across an entire product line and throughout your entire new product design process, we coach and implement the system with your people. Omnex developed ‘The Lean Agile APQP system’ to help its clients cut concept to delivery times up to one-half, allowing for more innovation and more product offerings.

Lean Six Sigma Strategy and I-IoT

Lean and Six Sigma Programs improve “speed or lead time” while Six Sigma reduces “variation or reduces defectives”. Omnex conducts Lean and Six Sigma programs independently or as integrated Lean Six Sigma programs.

Omnex-I-IoT division provides integrated solutions with the latest “disruptive technologies” or Industry 4.0 to have fact-based data in real-time for better Operational control of Machines, Materials and Products.

Problem Solving and Statistical Tools

Omnex conducts Disciplined Problem Solving in a number of methodologies including 8D, Root Cause Analysis and 5 Why. Omnex principals helped write a methodology for problem solving called "EPS or Effective Problem Solving" for the AIAG. Our experience in problem solving goes back 30 years. We have helped a number of organizations implement and maintain a culture of problem solving.

TISAX & ISO/IEC 27001:2022

TISAX stands for Trusted Information Security Assessment Exchange, a mechanism for the exchange of testing information which is operated by the ENX Association. It is a scheme to prevent multiple Cybersecurity assessments between Customers, Suppliers, and parties doing business with each other. TISAX  was Developed from topics of ISO/IEC 27001: Information security Management Systems - Requirements and ISO/IEC 27002: Code of practice for information security controls.

Omnex recommends that US Automotive Suppliers implement ISO 27001 to satisfy IATF 16949 requirements for Cybersecurity. If the Automotive Supplier also works with European OEMs, then we recommend ISO 27001 with TISAX be implemented.
