(Simpler Consulting LP: Pittsburgh) -- Simpler Consulting LP, a global management consulting firm that helps companies improve processes to stimulate business-affecting results, has launched the Simpler Design System (SDS), a new service that assists organizations with the product development process. SDS applies lean management techniques that enable companies to save time and money in getting high-quality products to market across the manufacturing, high-tech, medical device, and pharmaceutical industries.

“As businesses in every sector are clawing their way out of a recession, launching new products that deliver value to customers and new revenue streams is critical, but no easy task,” says Marc Hafer, CEO of Simpler. “The ability to launch products quickly and cost effectively has never been more important but also never more challenging. With SDS, product cost reductions of 25 percent or more are common even when redesigning mature products, while time to market will typically show reductions in the order of 50 percent.”
