Key Features:

  • Project Start/End Dates: Projects will start on Monday October 28th ending Friday November 15th.
  • The deliverables for this project will include a comprehensive report and a presentation. The report will detail the current state of the manufacturing processes, identified inefficiencies, and proposed improvements with a focus on reducing waste (ie physical waste, time etc) based on Lean principles. The presentation will summarize the findings and recommendations, providing a clear and concise overview for stakeholders. Students will be given 3 weeks to work with you to do their analysis and will provide their report and presentation between November 25th to Dec 6th. Presentations will be done via Zoom.
  • Students are required to visit the onsite facility for 1 full day for their analysis and/or be given a remote tour.
  • Project Duration: Approximately 40 hours per student, with 4 students per project

Project Examples

Requirements

Advanced Manufacturing students receive training to launch or advance their career within the advanced manufacturing sector. This program responds to the advanced manufacturing sector’s urgent need for skilled technicians and positions program participants at the forefront of a high-demand, dynamic industry. 


Examples of projects that they can work on include:


Optimizing Manufacturing Processes

  • Project: Conduct a comprehensive process mapping or value stream analysis to optimize production efficiency.
  • Description: Analyze the production process, from raw material acquisition to product delivery, using process or value stream mapping techniques. Identify waste areas, such as overproduction, excess inventory, or unnecessary transportation, and propose lean solutions to streamline operations and reduce costs.


Diagnosis of malfunctioning equipment for sequential processing given appropriate documentation, and suggestion for component replacement.

  • Project: Diagnose and suggest solutions for a malfunctioning conveyor belt motor. 
  • Description: Guide maintenance personnel through a systematic troubleshooting process to identify the cause of a conveyor belt motor malfunction. Provide simplified documentation and basic testing equipment, such as a multimeter, to check for common issues like loose connections or motor overload. Recommend simple solutions, such as tightening connections or replacing worn-out components, to resolve the problem efficiently.
