Module 3 — Lean Six Sigma for Industrial Engineering
Covers lean and Six Sigma tools applied to industrial engineering problems.
What you will be able to do
Find the waste that actually costs money, map the value stream, and run a DMAIC project with measured before-and-after results.
The practical work
Map the current value stream for one style from fabric store to finishing, marking waiting, transport, inventory, rework and overproduction with real figures. Choose the single biggest loss, define the problem with a baseline number, and run it through DMAIC — including how you will hold the gain in the standard method.
Prerequisite: Read module 2 and pass its quiz first.

1. Which of these is waste in lean terms?
2. What does the M in DMAIC require?
3. Rework is 4% of output and the factory doubles final inspection. What is the likely result?
4. Value-stream mapping is most useful for revealing:
5. An improvement raises efficiency from 55% to 65% on a 40-operator line of 480 minutes with a 20-minute SMV. How many extra pieces per day?
