The course underwent a comprehensive redesign for several corereasons. The primary goal was to integrate a single product to be manufactured as part of all labsessions. The product design was developed to integrate mostly machining processes that areconducted throughout the semester. The product, a bench vise, had design criteria that were imposedprimarily a result of educational needs. These criteria included generous

Lean Manufacturing Be Applied to University Laboratories? Shirish Sreedharan and Frank Liou University of Missouri-RollaAbstractLean manufacturing focuses on eliminating waste and improving flow using techniquessuch as value stream mapping, standard work, 5S, single minute exchange of dies, andvisual management. This paper presents a case study to show the value of creating andfacilitating student learning in lean manufacturing in the university environment. Thiscase study implemented lean manufacturing principles to a university rapidmanufacturing laboratory. The approach begins with the application of value streammapping to identify gaps between the current and future state maps. Lean
