Lean Engineering


We Strive to Offer Excellence

Lean engineering is most useful for larger corporations that need to improve their product development process. Time to market is an increasingly important aspect to product development. AVG will work with your product development organization to reduce lead-time and increase engineering throughput. This will lead to decreased product development costs. Lean engineering works by taking lean manufacturing concepts and converting them so that they make sense to a product engineer and designer. You have to think of your development process as an "engineering factory" that has waste inherent in the process, just like a manufacturing process. The 'engineering factory" produces a product, just like manufacturing, but the product is less tangible and the costs to produce the product are harder to quantify. Therefore using our lean engineering techniques will help you to understand your engineering costs, bottleneck operations and identify the best opportunities to improve and streamline this most important element of your business. One must note that even though the engineering department may total only about 5 percent of the total cost of an organization, it is the engineering department that creates over 80 percent of the total cost. Engineers create cost, yet most of them rarely know or understand what costs they are creating.

AVG offers a unique workshop that can be applied to useful projects. Workshop results when implemented will reduce lead-time, engineering expense and improve throughput and productivity.
