abstract
- The work presented in this article shows the results of the implementation of the lean manufacturing methodology using the 5s and 7 wastes tools to improve the learning process for engineering undergraduates in the cyber-physical systems course for higher education students. The cyber-physical systems course is taught in the Smart Factory, a space that recreates a genuine factory in a controlled environment where students play the roles of real-life industry. We have observed that the lack of order in the workspace affects the overall performance of the students. This educational innovation project implements the lean manufacturing methodology in the learning environment providing students tools that will, not only positively impact their education but, prepare them with means to better perform in industry.
