“…The Kano model was developed during the 1980s by Professor Noriaki Kano and classifies customer preferences into five categories (Shen et al, 2000, p. 92;Yang, 2005Yang, , p. 1129. QFD (Chan and Wu, 2002;Cohen, 1988;King, 1987) and design for assembly (Boothroyd, 1987;Sackett and Holbrook, 1988) emerged during the same period. Specifically, design for assembly should be seen as part of the paradigm that design and product engineering should not be disconnected from other functions, which became shortly after known as design for X (e.g.…”

Lean Product Development: Nothing New Under the Sun?

The concept of lean product development has attracted the attention of many scholars since its inception in the 1990s derived from practices at Toyota Motor Company. Key to this approach to new product development are a few methods derived from lean production as well as longer established practices, such as concurrent engineering. This makes one wonder whether lean product development is a new practice, a new method or an encapsulation of already existing methods at the time; this quest about the roots and tenets of lean product development, also in comparison to other methods for new product development, is the onus of this paper. This journey takes this propositional paper not only to the roots of lean product development and the context of its era of conception, but also to what this concept adds to other extant methods for new product development. Particularly, this comparison draws out that other methods are trying to achieve the same objectives: the creation of products and services with value to the customer, the reduction of time-to-market and the efficient use of resources. This inference implies that managers of new product (and service) development can choose from a wider pallet of methods and approaches to enhance the performance of R&D and to connect better to manufacturing (including supply chains). Inevitably, this has implications for research on (lean) product and service development; hence, this paper sets out a research agenda based on the deliberations and gaps that have been uncovered in the discourse.

“…The importance becomes evident if just the assembly operation is considered. Cost savings of between 15% and 70% [27] and increases of 100% to 200% in assembly productivity [5] are reported as being directly attributed to the application of CE to the assembly operation. Because of the importance and difficulty of performing CE successfully, a number of approaches have been proposed to help designers with CE [19,35,23,21].…”

Analyzing Large-Scale Imprecise Concurrent Engineering Systems

Concurrent Engineering (CE) systems tend to be of large-scale and are characterized by having imprecise data. Determining a suitable methodology for analyzing large-scale CE systems with imprecise data is a challenging research issue. In this paper, an approach called Interval-Based Concurrent Engineering Nets (ICE-Nets) is proposed. The main contribution of this work is that it presents a new approach to modeling and analyzing large-scale imprecise CE systems. The abstraction and analysis inherent in ICE-Nets gives several important benefits. First, the abstraction inherent in ICE-Nets offers the potential of being able to handle large-scale CE systems. Second, it allows the use of imprecise data in the form of intervals. Third, it applies a mathematical mechanism to the problem, with the potential of being relatively straightforward to computerize. Fourth, the graphical nature of ICE-Nets allows for users to interact with the network in a natural fashion.

“…For the past few years, considerable emphasis has been placed on product design, as product complexity significantly influences manufacturing cost [1][2][3][4]. Design for manufacturing, concurrent engineering and simultaneous engineering are the buzz-words of today and designers are forced to design the products correctly the first time round when they are at the early development stage.…”
