IMPROVING PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE THROUGH LEAN MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES & EDUCATION IN LEAN CONCEPTS Patricio A. Torres, M.B.A. Matthew P. Stephens, Ph.D.Introduction Manufacturing productivity can be improved by reducing waste in production processes.Since the introduction of continuous flow and the concept of assembly line processing by HenryFord, the industrial world has experienced a tremendous number of changes and modificationsdue to ever-increasing customer demands and expectations. These changes and growth have notalways followed a systematic approach and have not always been without the accompanyinggrowing pains. As a result, several

, curriculum development, as an example, is a highly specializedfunction, it cannot be done effectively without some consideration for the individual course, orcourses, that it will comprise. Additionally, the key direction in the design of a curriculum at theuniversity level is the planned discipline of study of individual students. Conversely, at thebusiness enterprise level, a curriculum is tied to the organization’s strategies and operating plans;each strategy and operating plan must be assessed in order to identify the performance requiredof employees.This section of this paper describes how the University of Kentucky college of engineeringcurriculum in lean manufacturing was developed as an integrated series of course offerings forundergraduate

Lean manufacturing concepts throughsimulation games and real life industry projects. Qualitative and quantitative data were collectedand analyzed to measure the learning outcomes. Student feedback indicates that the simulationactivities are effective ways for understanding Lean concepts. Furthermore, the Leanmanufacturing projects allow students to gain hands-on experience and apply what they learn toreal life situations.One of the main factors that the current Lean simulations and games do not consider is thecognitive skills and cultural aspects which are important for Lean manufacturing sustainability.In future work, we plan to integrate the cognitive and cultural factors into the Lean simulationgames.

respond to specific customer requirements andyet they are expected to make products efficiently, typically through larger quantities and scaleof operations. Global market demands have led to three distinct forms of production planningand control systems: the conventional manufacture-to-stock or the ”Push” system, the Just-in-Time (JIT) manufacture-to-order or the “Pull” system, and a “hybrid” push-pull system based ondelayed product differentiation. The hybrid system is the most difficult to optimize regardingoverall system operations because it entails frequent integration of product design, processconfiguration, inventory requirements, and post-manufacturing delivery constraints.Meanwhile, recent trends in lean manufacturing either directly or

After a year of implementation,evidence suggests that the program effectively enhances students’ industrial awareness andunderstanding of lean manufacturing.
