Earning Criteria

The focus of this course is on applying the concepts as students learn. Learning materials will be a blend of case studies, self-paced e-learning through modules and videos, and practical application. Students will have the opportunity to apply the learning through an in-class simulation and outside of class with a small improvement project. By the end of this course, students will be able to effectively apply A3 problem-solving using lean concepts and tools.
