| Applying "Lean" to Design |
Manufacturers
have focused on “lean thinking” to eliminate waste, reduce cost,
shorten lead times and improve quality. But few people are aware of how
much waste there is in design—most have never even considered it. How
much time is wasted on activities that don’t add value? We’ll discuss
applying lean principles to design and engineering in order to address
issues like errors in CAD data, manual vs. automated drawing/graphics,
and miscommunication. |
