Students were provided examples of where lean concepts have helped enterprisesand the general idea of making a process lean. The lecture was in anticipation of the start of thelean simulation the next week. Page 24.813.6 Figure 2. The LEGO Mindstorms Maze Navigation Challenge. Table 3.

, software may be the most readily changed component but that does not meanchanges to software are easily done.When a system is installed in the operating environment it will change that environmentand result in new requirements that will require changes to the system; i.e., now that thenew system enables me to do A and B, I would like for it to also allow me to do C, or todo B in a different way, or to do C instead of B. Often, changing the software is the mostcost-effective way to make changes to a software-intensive system; but as stated abovethere are no small changes to complex software.

summary statistics, statistical models were builtto predict exam performance based on the variables outlined in the previous sections. Logisticregression was chosen because of the non-normality of the outcome variable (exam scores) andthe many categorical variables. For a logistic regression model, the outcome variable must bedichotomous. As a result, the exam score variable was transformed to a binary variable with 1indicating the score was 80% or higher (A or B) and 0 indicating the score was less than 80% (C,D, or F). Multinomial regression was considered but rejected because of concerns that there wasnot a large enough sample size for this technique.Instead of one model that predicts the overall course grade, three models were built to
