In aroutine manufacturing environment, the failure of a few products (out of a million) might not beregarded as catastrophic, however, the failure of a project deemed critical to the mission of acompany might lead to a crash of the entire company1. There is a research study that illustratesthis concern, it deals with the supermarket giant Walmart that required implementation of a newIT system at Levi Strauss that tightly integrates with its own supply chain: “Back in 2003, the US clothing manufacturer Levi Strauss made the fateful decision to upgrade its global IT system.

Tools such as simulation have been used toimprove the process of integrating design and manufacturing functions. The application of Lean Design principles to new product development courseshas led the students to use Lean and Six Sigma tools at various stages when developing anew product. For example, a Lean QFD tool was preferred over simple QFD to define theproduct requirements during early stage of design. The Lean QFD tool was used todetermine critical

Additionally, the current course structure does not usually stimulate creativitynecessary for the design process (ideation) or train students on decision making based onobjective criteria.
