Bicycle dynamos have shown ceaseless improvement and innovation because of lean management. Such management is deemed as a standard of value creation by many domestic industries. Many cases demonstrate that industries can effectively create values, increase efficiency, root out wasting and lower costs if lean management policies adopted. Introduction to the policy seems to be a trend for many industries, whereas such a concept has not sprouted in innovative design and development of products. This study centers on the lean management by which the manufacturers better fulfill customers’ demand, reduced wasting, overcome the bottleneck to design, and raise the efficiency. Moreover, they use value stream analysis to chart the process flow, and initiate the use of future flow chart. The lean pattern of innovation promoted in this study can be a reference for other industries. The result indicates that this study devises a new bicycle dynamo, which is easy to produce, or repair. The process is also streamlined so that the cost of the non-friction dynamo is reduced. The stated bicycle dynamo fits users of any age, gender or ethnicity. Further, it is easy to learn to handle regardless of users’ experienced. We develop three models of bicycle dynamos, which provides with lighting for night riding and power recharge. Its non-friction dynamo offers riders comfortable and effortless experience. What’s more, the assembly takes only eight steps with four parts because of their simplified structures. Last but not the least, as the dynamos adopts non-contact electricity generation by magnet and coil, there is no problems such as deposit and recycling of used battery.
