Description
This module examines all aspects of the application of Lean Processing and Six Sigma principles and tools as they apply to the modern manufacturing environment.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Evaluate and discuss the key principles of Lean Manufacturing and their typical applications for manufacturing.
2.
Evaluate and discuss the key principles of Six Sigma programmes and their typical applications for manufacturing.
3.
Demonstrate the application of Lean tools such as Value Stream Mapping, SMED, 5S, Visual Management, TPM, Kaizen Events, Creating Continuous Flow.
4.
Demonstrate the application of Six Sigma tools such as DMAIC, Process Centering and Variation Reduction, SPC, PCA, QFD, FMEA, Poka-Yoke, HACCP, ANOM, ANOVA.
5.
For a typical manufacturing operation demonstrate the application of a combination of Lean-Sigma tools.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module can be taught via on-line lectures. A range of Computer-Aided Learning (CAL) packages are also used to support this module (e.g. Moodle, Adobe Connect, Panopto, Camtasia).
Students are provided with electronic materials for self-assessment and preparation for assessments/assignments. Self-directed, student-centred, independent learning is a core aspect through completion of module coursework.
Module Assessment Strategies
The assessment approach for this module will be 100% continuous employed including some of the following:
Enquiry based Projects (both individual and team based). Assignments/mini projects, short-form assessment exams incl. MCQs, Short answer and Long Answer Questions
Repeat Assessments
Students will have opportunities to re-submit work as agreed with their lecturer.
Indicative Syllabus
Topics covered will include the following: Introduction to Lean Principles. Introduction to Six Sigma Principles. Value Stream Mapping for Processes. SMED (Quick Changeover Techniques). Creating Continuous Flow for Processes. 5S Programme and Visual Management Techniques. TPM - Total Productive Maintenance. Conducting a Kaizen Event. DMAIC approach to problem solving. Process Centering and Variation Reduction. SPC (Statistical Process Control) and Process Capability Analysis, A3 Reporting. Application of analytical tools such as QFD, FMEA, Poka-Yoke (mistake-proofing), HACCP, ANOM, ANOVA.
