Project Guidelines:

Purpose: This project, to be completed as an individual, will provide you with an opportunity to apply and understand basics of the Lean and Lean Six Sigma methodology to investigate a real-world problem, while also enhancing your research skills. If you are working, you may prepare a project for a work process in your company. If not, you can select one of the sample projects in the links below or from other sources and explain the project in the template format. The sections below describe the final project deliverable.

Research Project Requirements:

  • The reason for this project is to learn how to make and analyze Lean Six Sigma Projects. Students are not expected to prepare a perfect Lean Six Sigma Project, but they are expected to understand and summarize the basics of a Lean Six Sigma Project.
  • Please select your topic. Find minimum 6 journal papers based on your topic and based on your topic selection. Library is a very good source for the topic (Science direct database is good for engineering journals).
  • You are expected to explain the basics of the methodology that you selected. You don’t need to include and explain every single subtitle in the template.
  • You may use any appropriate Lean/ Lean Six Sigma methodologies such as 5S, or JIT process design, U-shape cell design, DMAIC approach or other methodologies.
  • One of the important factors for a good grade is putting your own words for explanation. Please do not plagiarize for the explanations of the projects and reference all of the sources you used.

Final Project Template:

1.      Introduction/Context

a.       The company and/or department in which your problem happened

b.      The problem directly related to the job functions that you solve by improving the current way things are done

If you chose the DMAIC process, here is the link for DMAIC methodology: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMAIC
