Abstract

Lean production related education has been integrated in the training programs for undergraduates, graduates and engineering masters in Zhejiang University of Technology during the past several years. The fundamental curriculums are based on the framework of the Toyota Production System. And developments have been achieved by introducing modern manufacturing conceptions, with case studies of real production systems in the local areas. In this paper, the configurations of the course are demonstrated, and then a series of in-depth analysis are performed via the progresses accomplished by the students engaged in the course. Consequently, from the students’ point of view, a tighter grasp on the knowledge of lean production after this course enlightens them well into their future engineering career paths. And that fact reminds the teaching team that the lean production education is a prerequisite course in industrial engineering training, and it should be extended to other colleges and universities in China.
