  • EMGT 6920 - Logistics Engineering and Management


    Introduces logistics systems from a systems engineering perspective. It starts from the design of effective and efficient systems with their respective maintenance and support infrastructures to the coordination of the production and distribution of systems and products for customer use at different stages of a final product’s life cycle. The emphasis is on the design and implementation of effective and efficient logistics systems and supply chains. Contents also include the current management issues in logistics systems implementation and supply chain operations.

  • EMGT 6924 - Lean Six Sigma Practice and Management


    Provides an understanding of the Lean Six Sigma system design principles and tools. Discusses the lean continuous improvement cycle: 1) defining value using tools such Quality Function Deployment; 2). proceeding with identifying value streams using Value Stream Mapping; 3) making the value stream flow though the elimination of 7 wastes, line balancing, 5S, cellular layouts, SMED; 4) pulling resources JIT based on demand; and 5) achieving perfection through Kaizen events and statistical process control. Six Sigma improvement cycles DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Measure and Control) and DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze, Design and Verify) are also discussed and synergies with lean principles are reviewed to create a Lean Six Sixma system. Students are exposed to industry cases from major companies that illustrate the challenges and best practices of implementing a Lean Six Sigma system.

  • EMGT 6926 - Lean Supply Networks


    Builds fundamental lean systems skills to effectively design, plan, and execute lean supply networks that deliver value to customers. With the ongoing global pressure of cost cutting and quality focus, many companies have been implementing “lean manufacturing” concepts to survive in this competitive marketplace. While this is a good start, lean concepts need to be implemented beyond the four walls of a company across its supply chain. Lean principles do not only apply to manufacturing but to service organizations as well. This course helps students understand the principles of lean, supply chain management, and provide you with the related tools and techniques to make supply chains and companies deliver goods and services successfully. Students are exposed to industry cases from major companies that illustrate the challenges of managing lean supply networks.
