Lean Manufacturing Workshop

Issued by Auburn University

This workshop explores the design, analysis, and operation of manufacturing systems as a combination of humans, machinery, equipment, tooling, controls, building, transportation, etc., that are bound by a common material and information flow by performing a mass production run and a lean production run in a fully operational automotive manufacturing assembly laboratory space.

Earning Criteria

Determine the elements of lean system design and the steps to transform a mass production system, define key standardization tools and their effects on process, design, facilities, management, and leadership, apply Just-in-Time (JIT), Jidoka (error-proofing / Poka Yoke), value stream mapping, and 5S, explain the difference between a focus on Return-on-Investment vs Continuous Improvement.Track the evolution of lean production and its principles, such as standardization.
