DOI: 10.4324/9781003381945-13

We have described most of the methods, practices, and tools of Lean Engineering that are useful for exploring all or part of the different territories and taking the best itineraries. This section aims to go further by presenting a system that combines them in a coherent way, transforming conventional engineering into Lean Engineering. This coherent system is the SBCE.

The Set-Based Concurrent Engineering (SBCE) is the process at the core of Lean in Engineering. This approach consists of establishing as soon as possible the accessible design space by identifying trade-offs and interactions between variables, then developing the knowledge required to gradually narrow down ...
