International Lean Enterprise Student Workshop – 7/15 ~ 7/17
Due to the insufficient number of registrations, the student workshop has been canceled.

Objective

“Lean” emerged from the Japanese automotive industry, particularly TOYOTA, and is focused on the creation of value through the relentless elimination of waste. The basic principles and tools (and techniques) to sustain lean implementation have been applied to a wide range of organizations and sectors. This workshop will provide international students with an overview of techniques and concepts of lean enterprise to allow them to contribute immediately to manufacturing, operations or service industries. This workshop will include field-trip visits to lean implementation facilities in Taiwan to provide participants with a practical learning environment. Real-world case studies will be made available for participants to have hands-on experience in project teams during the workshop and concluded with recognitions to best performing team(s).
