Lean emerged from the Japanese automotive industry, particularly Toyota, and is focused on the creation of value through the relentless elimination of waste. Six Sigma is a quality system developed at Motorola which focuses on elimination of variation from all processes. The basic principles have been applied to a wide range of organizations and sectors to improve quality, productivity, customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, time-to-market and financial performance. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Aeronautics-and-Astronautics/16-660January--IAP--2008/CourseHome/index.htmHaggerty, AlWeigel, AnnalisaMurman, EarllMcManus, Hugh2009-07-10T04:12:11-04:0016.660ESD.62J16.853en-USAeronautics and AstronauticsAeronautics/Aviation/Aerospace Science and Technology, Generallockheed martin.rockwell collinsboeingsouthwest airlinesvariabilityvalue stream analysislean engineeringsupply chainsimulationvalue stream mappingenterprise leaderslean aerospace initiativesix sigmaleanEngineering Systems DivisionMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis course is offered for graduate students who are interested in the interdisciplinary study of bio-inspired structures. The intent is to introduce students to newly inspired modern advanced structures and their applications. It aims to link traditional advanced composites to bio-inspired structures and to discuss their generic properties. A link between materials design, strength and structural behavior at different levels (material, element, structural and system levels) is made. For each level, various concepts will be introduced. The importance of structural, dynamic, thermodynamic and kinetic theories related to such processing is highlighted. The pedagogy is based on active learning and a balance of guest lectures and hands-on activities. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Aeronautics-and-Astronautics/16-982Spring-2009/CourseHome/index.htmDaniel, Leonard2009-10-06T08:15:31-04:0016.982en-USAeronautics and AstronauticsOrganizational Behavior Studiesbio-inspired structuresmultifunctional materialsbiosensorssmart materialsnanomanufacturingbioactive materialintegrative designnanoparticlesstructural behaviorself-assemblynanostructuresmaterial propertiesmorphing structuressmart structuresnanotechnologybiomimeticsMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
