ADMF 201 - Lean Manufacturing
PROGRAM: Advanced Automation and Robotics Technology
CREDIT HOURS: 3
LECTURE HOURS: 2
LAB HOURS: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019
Introduces the philosophical background, historical development, fundamental concepts, operating fundamentals, and the organizational rationale for the implementation of lean disciplines in manufacturing. The course also applies to the application of lean disciplines and concepts to service and support industries. The use and implementation of lean disciplines has generally resulted in the ability of an enterprise to develop a work environment that promotes continuous improvement, eliminates waste, reduces operating cost, improves quality, and achieves measurable improvement in customer satisfaction.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Demonstrate knowledge of the philosophical and historical development of lean concepts and disciplines. [f]
- Make comparisons of conventional operating concepts and philosophies in both manufacturing and service/supply industries to Lean. [f]
- Demonstrate an understanding of the basic terms, disciplines, and concepts of Lean. [f]
- Demonstrate the ability to define, develop, and illustrate the disciplines of value stream mapping. [e,f]
- Identify the sources and types of waste-streams in a manufacturing or service/supply industry. [e,f]
- Define and identify the differences between value-added and non-value activities. [e,f]
- Identify and explain the major advantages of Lean over conventional operating methods. [e,f]
- Explain the principles of pull systems. [e,f]
- Define methodologies required to achieve continuous improvement. [e,f]
- Define the importance and need for making a commitment to achieve the implementation of Lean disciplines. [e,f]
- Develop concepts and processes that allow production facilities the ability to remain competitive in global markets. [e,f]
- Demonstrate ability to read and interpret technical documents. [b,e]
- Demonstrate ability to use various types of software applicable to course. [a]
