Revision: The design cycle
Common grocery items are just as likely to become the focus of innovation as anything else. The following video (2:32) demonstrates this idea using the example of soda packaging.
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.
Revision/extension: The affordances of triangles
In SILO 2.2 'Construction zone' we looked at the structural reasons why triangles add strength to a design. The following video (2:49) takes this idea further with additional depth and detail.
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:
The following video (4:52) tells the history and significance of this story:
Lean manufacturing principle # 1: Identify value
Lean manufacturing principle # 2: Map the value stream
Lean manufacturing principle # 4: Establish pull
The following video (4:05) explains the dynamics and
efficiencies of pull systems.
Lean manufacturing principle # 5: Seek perfection
Prefabrication is when components are assembled in a different location to the installation site and then transported to the construction site for installation. This practice is becoming increasingly common in the housing industry and is also emerging in other engineering contexts. The following video (2:08) shows how prefabrication is being utilised for building bridged.
