Description du projet/ Project Description
The goal of the Lean Engineering in Aerospace project is to apply lean principles to the design process in new product development.

Objectifs/ Objectives
There are three overall research tasks whose specific objectives are to develop: a) models for correct sizing of design work packages; b) a model measuring product design (PD) performance; and c) tools for target costing and life-cyle costing. 
Task a) has a target of saving 25% of the intellectual work in progress (IWIP) inherent in the productdevelopment process. 
The research will model the value stream of the New Product Development (NPD) process and investigate how task size impacts work flow, throughput and work in progress. Lean principles will be applied to improve flow and reduce cycle time by choosing appropriate task size at the different stages in the new product development process.
Task b) will develop a set of tools and techniques that will allow better design to cost. Lean principles will beapplied to match costing with project and process objectives. Tools will be able to look at the design implications of life cycle costs: design requirements, implementation, support, and continuous upgrades during product life. 
A closed-loop methodology will be developed that will model product function and target costs,and then address variances in order to bring design implementation in alignment with cost targets. 
Task c) will develop a set of tools and techniques that will allow better design to cost.
