Lean product and process development (Lean PPD) is an emerging paradigm wherein lean thinking is considered in the design and development of engineering products. Although lean design and lean product development have received attention in previous works, process development has received little; research in this area is necessary to improve the concurrency of product and process development. Integration of manufacturing knowledge at the conceptual design stage is of paramount importance to increase the designers awareness of manufacturing capabilities and opportunities. As a result, design rework can also be minimized and possible manufacturing plans can be effectively explored. This challenge leads to the first questions that we intend to address: How can designers be made aware of manufacturing capabilities and constraints?
