A Simulation-enhanced lean design process
Abstract: A traditional lean
transformation process does not validate the future state before
implementation, relying instead on a series of iterations to modify the system
until performance is satisfactory. An enhanced lean process that includes
future state validation before implementation is presented. Simulation modeling and experimentation is
proposed as the primary validation tool.
Simulation modeling and experimentation extends value stream mapping to
include time, the behavior of individual entities, structural variability,
random variability, and component interaction effects. Experiments to analyze
the model and draw conclusions about whether the lean transformation
effectively addresses the current state gap can be conducted. Industrial applications of the enhanced lean
process show it effectiveness.
