“…Lean thinking has been a subject of research for nearly two decades, the focus of which has been on improving manufacturing processes (Khalil and Stockton 2010), as well as administration, management and the supply chain. However new engineering products continue to under-perform in their lead times, cost, and quality.…”

Successes in lean manufacture have led researchers and practitioners to consider extending 'lean' to different parts of the engineering enterprise, including product and process development (PPD). Lean product development (PD) has been understood to mean lean manufacture applied to PD, while the roots of lean PDjust like lean manufacture-go back to Toyota. This paper presents the methodology adopted in order to pave the way towards a coherent lean PD model that combines lessons from the Toyota PD system (TPDS) with other best practises. The paper provides a unique review of the lean PD research area, and a reference framework for the enablers that Toyota has employed for lean PD. An investigation of five engineering enterprises undertaken to search for evidence of the implementation of lean PD enablers through observation, document analysis and interviews is also presented. Some enablers have been informally applied, while few have been formally implemented, and no model was found to formally combine Lean PD enablers into a coherent whole. This is the first paper to critique attempts to describe lean PD and provide a definition for Lean PD.

“…O pensamento Lean Manufacturing está consolidado há três décadas, e, por consequência, está fortemente estabelecido na engenharia de produção, tendo forte atividade de pesquisa e desenvolvimento em áreas como gestão e administração [8]. Este método está centralizado em práticas de produção paralelas a sistemas de qualidade, conforme a demanda do mercado e visando o desperdício zero [9].…”

As diversas ferramentas de manufatura, utilizadas para controle em processos enxutos, são indispensáveis para a aplicação eficiente dos recursos industriais. Este artigo buscou identificar, em meio aos modelos de maturidade Lean existentes, qual proposta de avaliação se enquadraria em uma célula de manufatura de solda. O estudo utilizou uma avaliação dos fatores que sustentam o método proposto, e os resultados indicam que a medição do grau de maturidade proporciona um entendimento real dos recursos utilizados pela organização. Para isso, se fez necessária uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a importância das ferramentas e uma análise para definir o modelo mais adequado à célula de manufatura de solda. Os autores concordam que, de maneira a obter melhores resultados, é preciso que os níveis de maturidade sejam nivelados entre si para que haja coerência, e, portanto, boa aplicabilidade ao contexto da organização. O questionário aplicado, baseado no modelo proposto, reuniu todas as áreas envolvidas nos processos da célula de manufatura de solda. Conclui-se que as ferramentas Lean são base para organizações que buscam resultados através da redução do uso de recursos de entrada e aumento de rendimentos, e a maturidade desses processos se torna indispensável na organização que busca crescer de forma competitiva em seu segmento do mercado, agregando valor ao cliente através de um controle afinado dos recursos.

“…The results, and particular characteristics of any lean system, are short lead-times, reduced requirements for human and financial resources, as well as products that are particularly suited to fulfil customer requirements [1][2][3]. Lean thinking has been studied for approximately two decades with main focus on manufacturing processes optimization [4,5]. However, new engineering products continue to under-perform with regard to their lead times, cost, and quality.…”

The study conducts research on lean product development (PD) methodology and presents a case study of its practical application into a specific one-of-a-kind development of large power transformers. The demonstrated framework is the result of a 5-year intensive research that led to an extensive transformation of a traditional PD environment into a highly efficient process according to lean principles. Paper explains how lean PD integrates with robust, concurrent and smart design strategies in highly individualized PD business. A generalized framework of PD and design process renovation is presented, comprising three main fields of interest: Process & Tools, People, and Knowledge. A direct consequence of implied renovation are significant savings. Case-study company cut down engineering changes by 32 % in three year test period and experienced performance improvement between 25 % and 83 % across designated process indicators.
