It outlines the work of the late Al Ward who did research on lean product development. <br /><br />I'm not sure why a company would call out set-based design as a specific need in a hire. Many companies do this but don't have a name for it, but also without the serious learning context that Toyota brings into it. It's an excellent tool for planning product development roadmaps in my experiences.

I’m not sure why a company would call out set-based design as a specific need in a hire. Many companies do this but don’t have a name for it, but also without the serious learning context that Toyota brings into it. It’s an excellent tool for planning product development roadmaps in my experiences.

One of the things that I picked in the interview was Jim's comment that he searches for 'Set Base Design' skills in his recruit for lean professionals. This was the first time I heard of this methodology, so I did a Google search and found an ASTM article written in 1996 by Sobek & Ward entitled "Principles from Toyota's Set-Based Concurrent Engineering Process" <br /><br />Is anyone familiar with this product development methodology, and if so, do you have experience in applying it in your organization? I would be curious to learn some of the details on how this system improves the product design cycle, especially in a culture that is accustomed to designing products in a “Point-Based Serial Engineering” manner.
