Course Objectives Lean Production philosophy started in Toyota factories in 1950s is an essential tool for productivity. The purpose of this course is to teach how to eliminate unproductive factors in an organization that we call waste (muda), support students to think in lean perspective and provide necessary background to lead in lean studies.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Will be able to have an understanding of lean thinking and lean production concepts
  • Will be able to gain a knowledge of lean production techniques
  • Will be able to analyze process with lean approach
  • Will be able to achieve improvement in process-production quality, workflow
  • Will be able to gain a knowledge on lean management and industrial ergonomics
Course Description The course involves lean terminology and detailed lean production techniques, real business cases, in addition lean management as well as industrial ergonomics.
