The core fundamentals of the Lean Design Methodology are the “Part Value Challenge,” Eliminating Poor Quality Drivers (S.W.A.T.), Design for B.O.B. (Blind One-arm behind the back, Builder – a robot), Manufacturing and Assembly Cost Mapping, the Munro Scoring System, the 10 Good Design Principle, and most importantly that, “The first design is never the simplest.” These elements are taught in Munro’s Training “Hearts and Minds” in tandem with Munro’s workbook, Lean Design: Value Quality Profit, which is available on Amazon.com.
