LEAN APPROACH TO INTEGRATE COLLABORATIVE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES AND DIGITAL ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

Abstract

Lean approach has proven its positive results concerning efficiency and reduction of overall business process time. Product Development Processes (PDP) has an important role in the value definition since it aims at defining the product and customer value, and this definition largely impacts production costs and production times. Therefore, in the past few years industrialist and researchers have shown a great interest in transferring the lean principles to PDP; called Lean Product Development (LPD) or Lean engineering. This paper addresses the LPD principles in design and integration and the difficulties in developing an appropriate value system. Moreover, it is about to expand the definition of the value and related metric system within research study currently ongoing in aircraft industry. The proposition concerns developing digital systems capabilities while matching them with the requirements of some integration processes. Based on a lean-6σ approach, the goal is to demonstrate how this matching can be a value creation driver within the Collaborative Product Development (CPD) of an Integrated Power Plant System, i.e. design and integration of turbojet engine, nacelle, pylon and connected equipments.
