MM4311: Sustainable Lean Manufacturing: Eliminating the Waste
3 Credits
One of the most important skills you can cultivate in manufacturing (or really any line of work) is the ability to clear away the clutter and streamline the process. Sustainable Lean Manufacturing teaches students three things: 1) wasted time, effort, and money exist in every process involving a product or service; 2) it’s possible to clearly see and identify where waste occurs; and 3) there’s a surefire set of tools and techniques to make a process less wasteful and more efficient. Bottom line: students leave this course viewing everyday life with a different perspective, knowing there’s always room for improvement in workflow. prereq: None
