TY - THES A1 - Hussain, Shahrukh T1 - Lean and process optimization training program N2 - ABSTRACT Topic of the work: „ Lean and Process Optimization Training Program” Author: Shahrukh Hussain Immatriculation Number: 00101351 Submission Date: 06.12.2021 First Examiner: Prof. Dr.-Ing. R. Meyer Economic globalization has increased the demand for businesses to become more competitive than ever before. Lean manufacturing is a management style that focuses on eliminating processes that add no value and are therefore regarded as waste. The focus on the shop floor and the involvement of the operators is one of the primary differences of lean from other management philosophies. As a result, training at all levels of the company is critical to the success of lean manufacturing. Universities should play a role in this process by strengthening student’s lean management abilities and encouraging better and faster integration of students into future enterprises, that’s why a Lean and Process Optimization training program is developed to train the students. This thesis paper contains instructions for 2 days Lean Training Program and examples of the test run of this training, which was performed and created in the production lab of Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt. The Lego "Car Assembly Plant" game was created to educate and use many lean tools such as Ishikawa, 5S, VSM, line balance, JIT, and the Pull Principle in order to continuously improve and optimize the assembly process. Milling Machine is used to teach SMED in this Training Program. Y1 - 2021 UR - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:573-33301 CY - Ingolstadt ER -
