Manufacturing Standards vs Lean Manufacturing
Developers should learn manufacturing standards when working in industries like automotive, aerospace, medical devices, or consumer electronics, where compliance is critical for product safety and market access meets developers should learn lean manufacturing principles when working in manufacturing, operations, or software development contexts where process optimization is critical. Here's our take.
Manufacturing Standards
Developers should learn manufacturing standards when working in industries like automotive, aerospace, medical devices, or consumer electronics, where compliance is critical for product safety and market access
Manufacturing Standards
Nice PickDevelopers should learn manufacturing standards when working in industries like automotive, aerospace, medical devices, or consumer electronics, where compliance is critical for product safety and market access
Pros
- +For example, in embedded systems or IoT development, adhering to standards like ISO 13485 for medical devices or IEC 61508 for functional safety ensures reliability and reduces liability risks
- +Related to: quality-assurance, regulatory-compliance
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Lean Manufacturing
Developers should learn Lean Manufacturing principles when working in manufacturing, operations, or software development contexts where process optimization is critical
Pros
- +It's particularly valuable for roles involving production systems, supply chain management, or agile software development, as it helps identify inefficiencies and implement data-driven improvements
- +Related to: agile-methodology, six-sigma
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Manufacturing Standards if: You want for example, in embedded systems or iot development, adhering to standards like iso 13485 for medical devices or iec 61508 for functional safety ensures reliability and reduces liability risks and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Lean Manufacturing if: You prioritize it's particularly valuable for roles involving production systems, supply chain management, or agile software development, as it helps identify inefficiencies and implement data-driven improvements over what Manufacturing Standards offers.
