discussion. In each phase, student teamswere required to analyze 3 or 4 questions, and make strategic as well as tactical decisions:For example, (i) How does the company allocate the production quantities to different plants while optimizing the profit of the whole company? (ii) At what tariff and exchange rate levels should the board of managers decide to shut down the off-shore plant in China? (iii) From both economic and environmental perspectives, which transportation mode(s) should be utilized? In what quantity?

currently being developed to enhanceundergraduate curricula to meet the industrial needs for engineers with education in lean. Thepurpose of the research is to address these expectations by developing learning modules thatincorporate lean simulation models into various Engineering Management, IndustrialEngineering, and Mechanical Engineering courses at Missouri S&T, Texas Tech, and SouthDakota State, respectively. In recent years, increasing global competition, rapidly changingtechnology, and a deficit of U.S. engineering graduates have intensified the need to producegraduating engineers who are effective problem solvers and analytical thinkers, yet who can alsocollaborate on interdisciplinary teams to address complex, real-world systems.

Approach - Focuses heavily on the behavior of the leader and is broken down into two areas of behaviors: (1) Task(s) - examination of task behavior and ways to facilitate task accomplishment; and, (2) Relationship(s) - it examines relationship behavior and how to make subordinates feel comfortable with themselves, with others and within situations.3. Situational and Contingency Models - Leaders need to be flexible and use different styles when leading different people or with the same person depending on the task: Directing style for people who lack competence and need direction Coaching style is for people who have some competence but lack commitment. Supporting style is for people who have competence but lack
