Developing Case Studies in Collaboration with Industry to Teach Lean Thinking and the Lean Manufacturing Paradigm

（59）本项目致力于将精益生产和精益概念纳入本科工业工程课程。pi与工业界合作，正在开发六(6)个案例研究，这些案例来自精益制造应用的实际例子。本研究的主题领域包括价值流映射、工作场所组织、过程流增强、设置减少/最小化、通过看板实施拉动式生产，以及多个产品系统中的生产平滑。利用基于发现的角色扮演学习形式，案例研究允许学生成为模拟真实世界环境的顾问或客户。pi和学生与工业伙伴合作，收集、分析和记录数据，并开发案例研究。在课堂上，2-4名学生组成的小组在课堂讨论前花两周时间准备一份书面案例报告。对于课堂讨论，pi正在模拟商务会议的形式，其中学生是顾问和客户。学生们就案例内容、准备和交付提供反馈。这些案例也正在分发给一些同行机构，以便通过在现有的本科班级中加以利用来进行评价。此外，还通过评估学生作业和态度调查进行进一步评价。最后，这些案例将提交给信息通报系统案例竞赛，以便进行评价和传播。

Engineering - Other (59)This project is addressing the inclusion of lean manufacturing and lean concepts into the undergraduate industrial engineering curriculum. The PIs, in collaboration with industry, are developing six (6) case studies drawn from real life examples of lean manufacturing applications. The topical areas of the study include value stream mapping, workplace organization, process flow enhancement, setup reduction/minimization, implementation of pull production through Kanban, and production smoothing in multiple product systems. Utilizing a role-playing discovery-based learning format, the case studies are allowing the students to be consultants or customers simulating the real world environment.The PIs and students are collaborating with industrial partners to collect, analyze, and document data and develop the case study. Within the classroom setting, teams of 2-4 students are spending two weeks preparing a written case report prior to in class discussion. For the in class discussion, the PIs are emulating a business meeting format, where the students are the consultants and customers. Students are providing feedback on case content, preparation and delivery. The cases are also being distributed to a number of peer institutions for evaluation through utilization in existing undergraduate classes. Further evaluation is also being done through assessing student work and attitude surveys. Finally the cases are being submitted to the INFORMS case competition for both evaluation and dissemination.
