In the September 2-15, 2024 edition of Aviation Week and Space Technology there is an article about the 5-step process at SpaceX for getting the most effective project outcome. In a few words summarized here, the steps are:
- Challenge the Requirements. Interpret this as: your requirements are dumb; find a way to make them less dumb!
- Find a way to eliminate a process step of poor value, or a part or component that can be simplified
- Find a way to make it easier, faster, cheaper to reproduce or manufacture
- Prioritize speed and responsiveness in everything you do or will have done.
- Automate everything! Take people out of the manufacturing and production process whereover possible.
