Lean & Lego: Building the Millennium Falcon Redux
summary
A group of engineers uses lean product development to assemble a 5,000+ piece Millennium Falcon from a 300‑page manual and proves the techniques speed real work: they map the value stream, run a kanban/story wall, plot cumulative flow and control charts, apply the Theory of Constraints, set WIP limits, stop the line for structural defects, create ready-to-build queues, and shrink batch size by switching to numbered bags — finishing the set far faster and with much lower cycle‑time than their initial ad hoc approach.
