BUAD 6641 - Lean Toolkit

(1.5)

In this course, students learn the Lean methodology, which is used to reduce process lead time, improve responsiveness to customers, increase efficiency, and reduce inventory. Specifically, students learn how to identify inefficiencies in processes using a particular type of business process mapping (value stream mapping) and, subsequently, lean tools aimed at reducing those inefficiencies. This course in combination with Six Sigma Toolkit qualifies a student for Yellow Belt Certification. A Yellow Belt Certification is required to take Lean/Six Sigma Project, which leads to a Green Belt Certification.
