Introducing digital pulse as a deviation management methodology for dental product development and production
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2015

Pulse methodology is a lean deviation management methodology that helps to visualise the deviations using visualisation artefacts (e.g., white boards and TVs) and frequent meetings for internal synchronisations within a company. The purpose of this study is to fill the gap within the lean literature about teaching and introducing pulse methodology. It presents a case study where digital pulse methodology was introduced to a customer-order-driven product development and production company within the dental device industry to help the company efficiently manage the deviations arising from daily operations so that it becomes more lean by visualising important data and capturing and reusing knowledge. The presented case study and the conclusions will be useful for researchers, companies, and consultants who want to try out pulse methodology or understand the implementation process.
