| Abstract | Increased globalization and competitiveness puts higher demands on companies to manage and create knowledge in the company. More specifically is Product Development an area where knowledge handling is of great importance due to e.g. increasing demands on shorter development cycles and the large costs of unplanned loop-backs. The purpose of this master thesis was to investigate tools and methods in the Lean Product Development concept to manage knowledge. The purpose was fulfilled by answering the following research questions: What role does Knowledge Management have in Lean PD? What tools and methods from Lean PD are companies using to manage knowledge? What are the benefits of the tools and methods? This was carried out with a literature study, a broad survey to 47 Swedish based industry companies, case studies at Swedish Lean PD companies and interviews with Swedish Lean PD experts in the area. |
