Project Examples

Requirements

Students will work in teams and spend 10-15 hours per student working with your organization to support the development of improved quality and/or processes that your organization can execute to get results.

You will need to provide the students with a goal, issue, or gap to focus on. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, manufacturing, quality assurance, supply chain management, and customer service.

Some project examples include:

  • How do we reduce waste and variation and improve productivity in storerooms, office supply rooms, or production lines? (i.e. through a 5S program)
  • Turn-around-time has increased and does not meet customer requirements. How can we improve turn-around time by 10%?
  • The intake process for Clients/Customers has a high incomplete/error rate. How do we reduce the number of errors on the intake form?
  • How can we better understand value from the customer's perspective? Students can perform Voice of the Customer/Critical to Quality analysis to determine what matters most to your customers.
