Text Box: Lean Engineering Design Simulation Text Box: Engineering Design Process is a complex activity in which products are designed and engineered or existing products are re-engineered to give optimum results.  This process may take any where from one week to several years to complete, and may involve a number of people, calculations, analysis and reviews. The simulation demonstrates how Lean tools can improve efficiency of design process in a learn by doing environment. Participants design a container ship during the simulation  

 

                                                                                              

 

                                                

                Text Box: · Reduction in Lead Time / Cycle Time · Reduction in number of reviews · Reduction in transportation time · Reduction in number of documents · Improved communication · Bottlenecks removed · Better work environment   Text Box: Phase 1 is traditional design process with multiple reviews and no interdepartmental communication. Time required to complete one order is highest in this phase Text Box: Phase 2 implements lean tools like 5-S, line balancing and quality at source. Time required to complete one order is lesser than that in phase 1 Text Box: Phase 3 implements lean tools like Integrated Product and Process Design (IPPD). Time required to complete one order is drastically reduced than that in phase 1 and phase 2 Text Box:  You will Learn in this simulation: · Engineering Design Process · Iterative nature of this process. · Participate in the simulation of the current state. · How to implement Lean tools to     improve process efficiency. · Performance metrics for Design process (cycle time, lead time, reviews etc) · Integrated Product and Process Design (IPPD) and Concurrent       Engineering (CI). · Implement Lean in phases and view the  improvements.
