Abstract
Applying lean to the PDP takes IPD a step further to create Lean Product Design and Development (LDP). While LPD keeps the integrative aspect of IPD, the LPD is rooted in the lean philosophy, which advocates full commitment to delivering the pulled value (do the right), and yet continuously works on eliminating the waste from the PD process (do right). This idea of “doing more with less”, which was the after war reality in Japan, is nowadays commonsense everywhere. Environmental and scarce resources concerns pull the modern companies to a more “lean philosophy aligned” behavior. Considering that the LPD is this book’s main subject, which will be discussed from now on, this chapter focuses on presenting a brief review of the lean philosophy and its impact on the manufacturing and on the product development systems.
