Positive Vs. Negative Iteration in Design

TLDR
Preliminary research findings are presented regarding such design management techniques as reduced batch sizing and set-based design and how waste can be reduced through elimination of negative iteration.
Abstract
Iteration is essential for generating value in design processes. However, not all iteration generates value. Iteration that can be eliminated without value loss is waste. Moving towards lean design requires a better understanding of both value generation and waste reduction. This paper contributes to the development of lean design by examining how waste can be reduced through elimination of negative iteration. Preliminary research findings are presented regarding such design management techniques as reduced batch sizing and set-based design. Future research is proposed.

State-of-the-art in lean design engineering:a literature review on white collar lean

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic review of the literature in terms of the adoption of Lean in new product development and found that Lean can be applied beneficially away from the factory; that an understanding and definition of value is key to success; that a set-based (or Toyota methodology) approach to design is favored together with the strong leadership of a chief engineer; and that successful implementation requires organizationwide changes to systems, practices, and behaviour.

Toyota's Principles of Set-Based Concurrent Engineering

TL;DR: The set-based concurrent engineering (SBCE) as mentioned in this paper is an approach that considers sets of possible solutions (in parallel and relatively independently) and gradually narrowing the set of possibilities to converge on a final solution.

The Second Toyota Paradox: How Delaying Decisions Can Make Better Cars Faster

TL;DR: Although on the surface, toyota's development process seems extraordinarily cumbersome, it is a model of how to make better cars more quickly and cheaply, and that this apparently inefficient system has made Toyota the fastest and most efficient developer of autos.
