If you soon will be working for an aerospace industry or government agency, expect to encounter their enterprise program for continuous improvement, i.e. Lean+ (Boeing), ACE (Pratt & Whitney), AFSO21 (USAF), R6É– (Raytheon), LM21 (Lockheed Martin). This course will introduce you to the fundamental Lean Six Sigma principles, practices and tools that underpin these programs and provide you a "hiring differentiator" on your resume. The curriculum is a 50-50 mix of lectures & hands on exercises, plus a plant tour to New Balance shoes in Lawrence, MA, & speakers from industry.
