MF4007 Lean Manufacturing Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVE:

(1) To implement lean manufacturing concepts in the factories.
(2) Understand the distinction between mass and lean production and to be able to assess the difference in a manufacturing environment
(3) Understand the various elements of Lean systems
(4) Learn the importance of JIT
(5) Understand the various Inspection systems and effectively plan for a Lean system

UNIT I INTRODUCTION
