Requisites

Prerequisite ETI 1622 with a minimum grade of C

Course Description

This course provides an overview of Lean concepts with a working knowledge of the tools required to implement and maintain a Lean facility. Course coverage includes mistake proofing, the 5S’s for operators, quick changeover, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and the kanban system.

Learning Outcomes and Objectives

  1. The student will demonstrate mistake proofing by:
    1. defining the basic principles of mistake proofing.
    2. describing and using zero quality control (ZQC) techniques in manufacturing settings.
    3. identifying mistake proof devices in eliminating errors in manufacturing.
  2. The student will use the 5S’s (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain) of the workplace by:
    1. defining the terms used in the 5S’s.
    2. identifying and describing the steps used in the 5S’s.
    3. applying the 5S’s for efficiency, maintenance, and continuous improvement.
    4. describing the visual workplace environment.
  3. The student will apply the quick changeover process by:
    1. defining the terms associated with the quick changeover process.
    2. describing the techniques and approaches used in quick changeover.
    3. identifying changeover techniques
    4. describing the streamlining process to reduce changeover time.
    5. developing the line changeover approach in manufacturing.
  4. The student will describe overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by:
    1. defining and listing the terms used in overall equipment effectiveness.
    2. explaining the process of total productive maintenance (TPM).
    3. defining the role of overall equipment effectiveness in eliminating equipment problems.
    4. discussing the three elements of total productive maintenance as used for the output of goods.
    5. analyzing the tracking process in improving the effectiveness of the operating equipment.
  5. The student will demonstrate how to plan for cellular manufacturing by:
    1. describing one-piece flow for work teams.
    2. defining the terms associated with basic cellular manufacturing concepts.
    3. describing the cellular manufacturing layouts that promote production flow by cutting waste.
    4. identifying production teams basic to cellular manufacturing and teamwork concepts.
    5. describing the steps required to convert to a cellular arrangement.
  6. The student will explain the kanban system by:
    1. describing the just-in-time (JIT) system.
    2. identifying the techniques used in the kanban system for just-in-time.
    3. describing ways of improving the productivity process and quality of the product.
    4. identifying the non-value-adding activities.

Criteria Performance Standard

Upon successful completion of the course the student will, with a minimum of 70% accuracy, demonstrate mastery of each of the above stated objectives through classroom measures developed by individual course instructors.
