Cutting time to market and getting projects right first time are nothing new. But, says Dr Tom Shelley, advances in lean thinking provide useful direction for engineering design - like not just using the right CAD/CAM software but using it intelligently. As well as designing in 3D there is a need, for example, to ensure re-use wherever possible, but also to minimise re-creation of data for manufacturing and for preparing documents, whether paper-based or electronic.
