Syllabus
Course Objectives
This course is an examination of systems redesign utilizing contemporary
quality and systems engineering methodologies, specifically Six Sigma,
Lean, Toyota Production System (TPS) and Constraint Management.
Direct application of principles to a relevant industry field project will be
shown. This course is recommended for those students interested in
optimization and management of operational processes. The aim of the
course is to provide competences and skills about lean and six sigma
tools. At the end of the course, students will be able to apply the acquired
competences and skills in order to improve industrial processes.

Assessment Methods
Oral exam which requires the preparation of a presentation about a
DMAIC Project that will be assigned to each team (3-4 students,
depending on the number of total students). A Power Point presentation
shall be submitted to my e-mail address (davide.diblasi@unipv.it) 3
days before the exam date at the latest, in order to be reviewed. During
the exam, studentwillhave to: • present the lean six sigma tools used in
the project • justify the choice made • answerquestions Time for the
preparation of the project presentation will also be considered in the final
mark, this to introduce the student into a working reality where it's very
important to deliver a good product with a short lead time Threshold to
pass is 18/30 and maximum mark is 30/30 cum laude.
For laude: will be requested what book of the reference bobliography was read and what the main contents about it.
2 milestone (individual exercises) will be done during the training, as "refresh" of main contents. A preliminary evaluation will be given to each one.
