Revision: The design cycle

Introduction to the topic

Project management 101 (Price, quality and time).

A basic operating principle in project management is that there are three main considerations, namely; price, quality and time, and you can only have two out of three.  For example if you manufacture things quickly and cheaply you can't expect to have very high quality.

Lean manufacturing

The five lean manufacturing principles were developed in Japan and used extensively by Toyota (https://www.manufacturing.net/home/article/13193437/the-principles-of-lean-manufacturing). The five principles are:

  1. Identify value
  2. Map the value stream
  3. Create flow
  4. Establish pull
  5. Seek perfection

The following video (4:52) tells the history and significance of this story:
