"If parts are not being added back into the design at least 10% of the time, not enough parts are being deleted."

I am struggling to understand this one.

Is he saying that you should remove parts on a routine basis, like a "remove parts/processes" meeting every month and then re-adding them back in once you find they're needed.

Or is he saying when you get a list of requirements, remove parts/processes related to those requirements and then re-add them once you find they're needed?

Or is it something else entirely?

He’s talking about physical parts and manufacturing processes. For example laser etching a part number might might not be worth it. If nobody can justify why it’s needed then why not skip it.

Got it, thank you!
