Description
This module examines all aspects of the application of Lean Processing and Six Sigma principles to Biopharmaceutical Processing.
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 bioprocess industries.
2.
Evaluate and discuss the key principles of Six Sigma programmes and their typical applications for bioprocess industries.
3.
Appraise the application of Lean tools such as Value Stream Mapping, SMED, 5S, Visual Management, TPM, Kaizen Events, Creating Continuous Flow.
4.
Appraise 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 biopharmaceutical process demonstrate the application of a combination of Lean-Sigma tools for both a core manufacturing process sequence as well for a support function or administrative sequence.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module can be taught using 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, Assignments/mini projects. Short-form assessment exams incl. MCQs, Short answer and Long Answer Questions as required.
Repeat Assessments
Students will have opportunities to re-submit work as agreed with their lecturer.

A refreshingly practical guide to real-world continuous improvement Lean Six Sigma for Leaders presents a no-frills approach to adopting a continuous improvement framework. Practical, down-to-earth and jargon-free, this book outlines the basic principles and key points of the Lean Six Sigma approach to help you quickly determine the best course for your company. Real-world case studies illustrate implementation at various organisations to show you what went right, what went wrong, what they learned and what they would have done differently, giving you the distilled wisdom of hundreds of implementations with which to steer your own organisation. Written from a leader's perspective, this quick and easy read presents the real information you need to make informed strategic decisions. While many organisations have implemented either Lean or Six Sigma, there is a growing interest in a combined approach; by implementing the most effective aspects of each, you end up with a more potent, adaptable system that benefits a wider range of organisations. This book shows you how it works, and how to tailor it to your organisation's needs. Understand the basic principles and key aspects of Lean Six Sigma Examine case studies of organisations that have implemented the framework Build on the lessons learned by other leaders to shape your own path Achieve continuous improvement by creating the right environment for success In theory, every organisation would like to attain continuous improvement but what does that look like in day-to-day practice? How is it structured? What practices are in place? How can you implement this new approach with minimal disruption to daily operations? Lean Six Sigma for Leaders answers these questions and more, for a clear, actionable guide to real-world implementation.
