The Five steps.
Elon Musk, in an interview with Tim Dodd, outlined five essential steps of manufacture design.
The two met at starbase late summer of 2021 for a tour. At the meeting Elon stressed that designing a prototype is very simple when compared to the complexity of designing volume production. Something that Elon Musk earlier has called "the machine that makes the machine". The full interview series are available on Tim Dodd's Youtube channel - The Everyday Astronaut,
The five steps were as mentioned:
1. Make requermens less dumb.
2. Try really hard to delete the part or delete the process.
3 Simplify or optimize.
4. Accelerate cycle time.
5. Automate.
notes:
step 1
/ your requirements are likely dumb.
Especially if they come from a really smart person.
step 2
/ Put persons name on requirement not department.
/ “If you’re not adding things back in 10% of the time,
you’re clearly not deleting enough from your design.”
step 3
/ First begin when 1. and 2. is exhausted
step 4
/ "cycle" Assumed to be iterations of innovations in contrast to 5.
