There are several benefits reported in literature related to the adoption of lean in development environments, as rework reduction, innovation and an increase in value adding. However, there is a few literature regarding how to manage uncertainties, to integrate developers, to maximize the knowledge sharing and minimize its losses in a lean product development environment. The Toyota Kata approach enables the establishment of management routines that can conduct the development process, deal with uncertainties, stimulate organizational learning and integrate and align all development team towards the development goals. This paper aims to demonstrate how the Toyota Kata approach can be used in a Lean Product Development environment and to present the initial results of its application in the development of an innovative product, a magnetic refrigerator. Initially, a literature review was performed. Then, a model for Toyota Kata in Lean Product Development environments was developed. Finally, an action research was performed in the development of the product of a magnetic refrigerator. As a result, an increase in integration, value focus, alignment towards development goals and knowledge sharing was observed. The Toyota Kata approach provided a management routine that enabled daily management of lean product development. Also, it contributed to reduce the risks associated with product development.
