Lean

What it is

Waste, bottlenecks and rework stripped out — every step earning its place.

9D applies lean thinking to the model — finding the waste, the bottlenecks and the rework, and stripping them out so every step earns its place. It is process engineering for the build itself.

Like the other later dimensions it is powerful but not yet fully standardised, so it is specified to the project rather than assumed.

What it delivers

• Waste, bottlenecks and rework identified in the model
• Every step in the process tested against its value
• Lean thinking applied to the build, not just the factory
• Specified to the project, as 9D should be
