摘要

In an era of sharp competition and increasing customer expectations, optimizing the product design and development process is critical to deliver value-added solutions. This study explores the application of a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tool equipped with a Lean (Design for Excellence) module to enhance product development efficiency and effectiveness. The LeanDfX module integrates lean principles with advanced design for X methodologies, enabling the systematic identification and incorporation of value-generating features into products. The proposed methodologies were implemented into a software platform designed with versatility in mind, ensuring its adaptability to diverse industrial sectors and product categories. This adaptability allows companies across various sectors to benefit from streamlined processes, enhanced collaboration, and reduced development cycle times. The LeanDfX intuitive integration with the PLM further supports informed decision-making, minimizes waste, and accelerates time-to-market. By implementing the tool in two use-cases, the findings highlight the transformative potential of a PLM tool with LeanDfX capabilities in driving innovation and operational excellence. Aligning product design with lean strategies, this approach promotes sustainable practices, reduces costs, and delivers high-quality products tailored to market needs. This research underscores the value of flexible, sector-agnostic tools in meeting the demands of modern industry while fostering a culture of continuous improvement in product development.
