Lean Product and Process Development

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used content analysis to investigate existing approaches and integrated them into a single coherent framework consisting of 11 Lean Product Development components to better understand the nature of the novel definition of Lean PD, conducting a theoretical investigation of the component interdependencies.

TL;DR: This paper refines the definitions of such "set-based" development practices, which are aimed at early development phases, and shows how they can be applied to the systems engineering process in order to reduce or eliminate the root causes of rework.

TL;DR: This article presents the methodology adopted in order to pave the way towards a coherent lean PD model that combines lessons from the Toyota product development system (TPDS) with other best practises and provide a definition for Lean PD.

TL;DR: An integrated model consisting of three distinct elements; SECI modes, 'ba', and knowledge assets is proposed, and it is demonstrated how lean thinking conceptually fit with knowledge creation process, and a set of ten lean thinking tools and methods are proposed to improve the efficiency ofknowledge creation process.
