Learn to optimize real manufacturing, warehouse, and supply chain systems — Lean, Six Sigma, operations research, simulation, inventory management, line balancing, and statistical process control.
21 modules and 5 complete real-project case studies, with worked calculations, before/after metrics, and a certificate of completion.
Industrial/systems engineering as a discipline and the systems view of processes.
The 8 wastes, value stream mapping, just-in-time, 5S, and kaizen.
The DMAIC methodology, process sigma level, and belt certifications.
Linear programming, queuing theory, and decision analysis.
Discrete-event simulation fundamentals and model validation.
Aggregate planning, MPS, MRP logic, and capacity planning.
EOQ, safety stock, reorder point, and ABC classification.
Supply chain structure, the bullwhip effect, and supplier selection.
Transportation mode selection, warehouse operations, and 3PL.
Layout types, systematic layout planning, and material handling.
Takt time, station assignment heuristics, and precedence diagrams.
Availability × Performance × Quality, and the six big losses.
Cost of quality, QFD, and FMEA methodology.
Control charts, Cp/Cpk, and common vs. special cause variation.
Critical path method, Gantt charts, and resource leveling.
PDCA, kaizen events, and A3 problem-solving.
Descriptive/predictive analytics and KPI dashboards for process data.
A full worked line-balancing project with a before/after efficiency comparison.
ABC velocity-based slotting reducing pick-path distance.
A full worked DMAIC project reducing defects with a control plan.
A distribution network optimization reducing cost and delivery time.
A pull-system implementation reducing WIP and lead time.
12 real project templates — a value stream map template, line balancing worksheet, standard work combination sheet, kanban card sizing worksheet, DMAIC project charter, FMEA worksheet, control chart template, A3 problem-solving template, warehouse slotting worksheet, EOQ/reorder point calculation sheet, network siting worksheet, and a kaizen event report. Available for download from Module 20 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: sample simulation model files and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
