The objective is to understand existing workflows and pinpoint areas that require improvement. The review focuses on several key areas, including engineering waste, which identifies non-value-adding activities; the current state of engineering processes, which examines design, development, testing, and deployment; and data management, which assesses how information is gathered and utilized. Additionally, it evaluates design automation and systems integration to enhance operational efficiency. Recommendations are provided for addressing common challenges such as design errors, software compatibility, and workforce issues. The guide emphasizes the importance of improving collaboration between departments and ensuring data integrity to optimize design and manufacturing processes.
