Production engineering can come on highest level of productivity if in the whole process involved in very beginning time
Research-development and designing phase. One of the known methodologies is golden loop, which was present firstly on
TU Delft on 2002. Later was developed in LECAD on the University of Ljubljana. Laboratory LECAD was known about fully
cooperation with the industry and novelties of the product. In paper will be present first loop where the problem recognition was
performed. The second loop is important for team consolidation and clearing the problems at all. On the third loop, we find out the
function capability according the request. Finally, in the golden loop we proposed the detail design with high level of detail searching.
With that golden loop the product, become visible in good prepared for production and especially for total production engineering.
With some example as e-drive bicycle, it is we as if present few interesting details, which can be improved if we used golden loop
methodology in the whole process.
