Lean Methodology for Maritime Design: Evolution towards Excellence
- Extends the advantage of lean thinking to SME vessels builders
- Able to address Maritime Industry needs and constraints peculiarities
- Able to improve the design process of vessels from a system perspective
- Focused on the design and development of highly specialized, unique, low volume vessels and services
- Focused on process waste reduction
The Lean Design Methodology is a Transformation Framework that:
- Provides designers a comprehensive view of the design process (with its own implementation)
- Provides a people centric way of organizing the knowledge based processes needed to invent new vessels and services to better meet customer needs.
- Leverages methods (data and tools) to continuously improve the process, and the products and services delivered, while minimizing the use of resources and the impact on the environment.
- Integrates product usage information and design parameters in a structured manner, through KbeML
