Lean design tools.
| Tool | Application |
| Value stream mapping | Identifying process steps and opportunities for improvement | DFMA | Reduction of design complexity and increase of manufacturability | 3D modeling | Ease of product visualization, improved design reviews, and reduced error due to missed interferences | GD&T | More effective communication of design intent and reduction of manufacturing errors | FEA | Allowing virtual testing and optimization of design before costly components are manufactured |
