Description


The course aims to teach different types of production strategies that allow you to design a production system in the most efficient way. Identify the parts of production processes without added value and optimize them.

The tools that will be taught mostly in this subject to be able to design processes in the most optimal way, are the tools of the LEAN methodology and Toyota Production System.
 

Learning outcomes

It must also be able to create a working standard as the basis of the production system.

 

Working methodology


In addition to the theoretical definitions in class, simulation practices of the tools that will be explained for a better achievement of the concepts will be developed.

There will be practical exercises for the analysis and improvement of real production processes using videos recorded with authorization.

The same Excel spreadsheets that are used to analyze processes in some companies will also be used.
