Course content
The course is compulsory in the 2nd year of the study program INGLOG (Program identity subject 3), and contributes to providing basic knowledge about Lean in three different aspects: Lean and continuous improvement as a management philosophy and way of thinking, Lean as a set of principles and ethical values , Lean as a set of methods and tools (technical Lean), and, Lean and quality management in practice. The main focus will be on the practical use of Lean in production operations and logistics with a number of real issues and examples taken from the industry.
Course content:Central topics in the subject is:
- Lean philosophy, Toyota Production System (TPS), the concept of solution, Lean and Green;
- Continuous improvement (PDCA); systematic problem solving and innovation;
- Six-Sigma and statistical quality management
- Lean toolbox (5S, value stream analysis, SMED, Poka-Yoke, preventive maintenance, focused factory and cell production);
- Production management, dimensioning of lot size, economic series size (EOQ, EMQ), small series production, reduction of Waste and work in progress;
- Just-in-Time philosophy, Kanban management, bottleneck management, line balancing and Heijunka;
- Everyday management, visual management and standardized work.
