“…This can be explained by a desire to explore and formalize Toyota's practice of SBCE as described by the foundational literature on SBCE (Ward et al 1994;Sobek 1996b). The majority ( 60%) of the publications in category 5 advocate exploring the design space, generating solutions and learning either by using computational tools (design grammars, parametric design, catalogue design and mechanical compilers) (Nahm & Ishikawa 2006a phases (Ward et al 1994(Ward et al , 1995Liker et al 1996;Sobek 1996a,b;Sobek et al 1999;Khan et al 2011;Raudberget 2011;Al-Ashaab et al 2013;Levandowski et al 2013;Michaelis et al 2013;Levandowski et al 2014;Al-Ashaab et al 2016;Araci et al 2016).…”

Set-based design (SBD), sometimes referred to as set-based concurrent engineering (SBCE), has emerged as an important component of lean product development (LPD) with all researchers describing it as a core enabler of LPD. Research has explored the principles underlying LPD and SBCE, but methodologies for the practical implementation need to be better understood. A review of SBD is performed in this article in order to discover and analyse the key aspects to consider when developing a model and methodology to transition to SBCE. The publications are classified according to a new framework, which allows us to map the topology of the relevant SBD literature from two perspectives: the research paradigms and the coverage of the generic creative design process (Formulation–Synthesis–Analysis–Evaluation–Documentation–Reformulation). It is found that SBD has a relatively low theoretical development, but there is a steady increase in the diversity of contributions. The literature abounds with methods, guidelines and tools to implement SBCE, but they rarely rely on a model that is in the continuum of a design process model, product model or knowledge-based model with the aim of federating the three Ps (People–Product–Process) towards SBCE and LPD in traditional industrial contexts.

“…Subsequent studies (e.g. Khan et al, 2011) are extending this framework of set-based concurrent engineering, though not referring to Pugh (1981) or similar works. Thus, it can be concluded that set-based concurrent engineering is not a unique feature, whereas (recent) works on lean product development, such as Al-Ashaab, Golob et al (2013), Belay et al (2014) and Mund et al (2015), are even ignoring its heritage.…”

“…Even studies themselves have not included the notion of falsifiability, e.g. Khan et al (2011), Tyagi et al (2015) and Wang, Ming et al (2011), not least the original study by Womack and Jones (1996). Neither does such divergent adoption of the concept of lean product development lead to which theoretical question will be addressed, akin to Sutton and Staw's (1995, p. 373) remark.…”

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.

In many cases PLM implementations are halted in the first phases of larger projects. On average, implementation projects take longer, cost more than planned and not all goals are achieved despite modern software implementation methods like Agile or Scrum. This paper proposes another approach, in which the implementation method is inspired by product development methods in general and set based concurrent engineering in particular. The method is structured in five major steps alongside a method of knowledge management and reuse to support the implementation method. The five steps deal with scope and maturity level, requirements analysis, process mapping, rationale based solution selection and system consolidation. The element of knowledge reuse makes this method also accessible for small and medium sized companies, generally reluctant to conduct a fundamental process analysis before starting a software implementation. From there this knowledge can evolve towards a product configuration framework for PLM implementation. The paper outlines the method in theory and proposes further steps to investigate each step in more detailed research and case studies.
