This course provides an overview of lean management principles and additive manufacturing (technologies, materials, equipment and design rules) with focus on application of lean approach to additive manufacturing. Special attention is devoted to the role of additive manufacturing in terms of reduction of the seven wastes (waiting and lead time, overproduction, over processing, transportation, motion, inventory and defects), as well as, in further waste reduction through light weighting, reduced scrap rate, reduced pollution, reduced CO2 footprint and energy-efficient parts.
Through practical exercises the course participants will be trained to apply lean approach to additive manufacturing and fabricate products by FDM and SLA additive manufacturing technologies in accordance with waste reduction principles.
