Lean engineering

Process design in engineering means to free the engineers from routine work so that they may focus on the creative part of their work.

A clearly defined product generation process is fundamental for effective and efficient engineering work. This requires the process design and process improvement in accordance with the relevant information design. Our approach:

• Understand work flows and activities
• Simplify structures and documents
• Improve the interaction of product- and process design.

The common denominator of CIMAachen’s assignments includes:

• The creation of reliable communication structures,
• the implementation of "lean" engineering work flows and
• the elimination of routine tasks.

The point is to avoid waste. This is where CIM Aachen’s services are geard to.

• Streamlining of engineering processes
• Standardization of release- and engineering change procedures (Q-Gates)
• Design of lean work flows
