This paper contains a model of waste elimination through design. It argues for the importance of managing design complexity in improving cost, quality, variety, and time-to-market performance varaibles. Management of design complexity is identified with creation, choice, and application of design problem representations, divisions of design labour, and product architectures that provably eliminate waste.
