Lessons in lean manufacturing

Undergraduate students in the Iteration and Continuous Improvement course experienced hands-on training in lean manufacturing, a method to minimize waste and maximize productivity in manufacturing, during a session in the Industrial & Systems Engineering Learning Factory. The training program was developed by ISE students last year for their capstone project, sponsored by Moog. Two of the graduates on that team, who now work for Moog, volunteered their time run the course. The effort is a collaboration between the Calhoun Discovery Program, ISE, and Moog.
