INSE 3140U – Lean Production Systems Engineering

This course is about customer‐centric methodologies that improve processes by eliminating waste and by focusing on value‐added tasks. Based on analytically and systematically established customer requirements the course addresses strategies on how to decrease the development lead time for a product/process/system or service and how to establish an integrated lean workflow process that reduces waste and improves quality, design, manufacture, assembly, maintenance and aftersales support. Students will apply these concepts in design activities in labs and a major project. The project will require implementing lean initiatives in addressing process mapping and current and future value stream mapping. The students will have hands‐on exposure to 3D manufacturing simulation software (e.g., Visual Components 4.2, or else).
