COURSE OVERVIEW :
|
This course provides an introduction to Lean Manufacturing and covers the basic principles on which Lean practices are built. The main focus of the course is on Lean from an industrial engineering and management science perspective. The course will cover an extensive set of Lean tools and outline their application in a manufacturing environment with the goal of achieving measurable objectives related to operational effectiveness.
Once the basic tools are put in place they will be applied in a major course project that targets an area for improvement in your place of work or in a Lean project developed through discussion with the instructor.
To complement the course, advanced topics not normally covered in an introductory Lean course will also be reviewed.
