Inhalt
This course is organized as a block course with two full lecture days. Day 1 focuses on the fundamental lean production principles and practices. Students get intimately familiar with lean production through a hands-on and immersive serious game and integrated reflection rounds. Day 2 focuses on how new technologies challenge and enhance the classic lean principles through presentations, hand-on exercises, and discussions. After each day, students write reflection notes with peer-review. The course is useful both for students with no previous experience of lean as well as for students with extensive experience of lean.
