Introduction to the methodology of process optimisation in the area of operational and commercial excellence with a focus on Lean Six Sigma.

Structure of the Course:

• The Six Sigma Toolbox
• The Six Sigma core processes:
  • Define
  • Measure
  • Analyse
  • Improve
  • Control
• Methods of Lean Management (5S, SMED, Kanban,...)
• Application of statistical methods in the context of Lean Six Sigma
• Use cases from practice
• Exchange between students on relevant topics, case studies

Blended learning, consisting of lectures by the lecturer, practical exercises, presentations by students and e-learning units.

Continuous assessment: Individual tasks, group task, exam

Basics

• Project definition, project types, process-oriented project management approach
• Waterfall vs. scrum approach: Characteristics, similarities, differences
• Process concept and process management approach

Management of individual projects:

• Project assignment and delimitation of projects
• Definition of project goals
• Project organization: organization chart, roles, communication structures, team development
• Context analysis incl. in-depth stakeholder analysis
• Integrated planning: services, deadlines, resources & costs
• Risk management in projects
• Ingredients for active project controlling
• Project coordination
• Project marketing
• Concluding projects professionally
• Recording experiences (lessons learned) in a structured manner, using them for follow-up projects and incorporating them into the organization

Practical application in a practical project planned by the students

Management of individual processes:

• Management of processes
• Process organization
• Survey and approval of actual process
• Process definition and context analysis
• Methods for the collection and presentation of processes

• Dissolve process

Didactic setting - face-to-face and online phase:

2.5 SWS / 5 ECTS (=125 EH workload students) =

20 EH attendance teaching

105 EH distance learning (= student workload)

Methods used:

Inputs for teaching the basics

Development methods:

- Work assignments: students work through materials in self-study, the contents of which are carried out as part of (self-) examinations and then discussed in case of ambiguities

- Small group work based on specific case studies. Feedback and reflection in plenary. Lecturer from the field builds a bridge to implementation in everyday working life

- Group work: In addition to working on a specific topic and applying what they have learned, students acquire interdisciplinary skills such as team skills, social skills, media didactics skills and language skills when working in a group.

- Creating a flipchart presentation: Students present the results of their work on the practical project in the form of flipcharts. Exchange of experiences in the group supports the understanding and testing of the content taught

Continuous assessment: The ILV is assessed through formative assessment.

By awarding points already during the course

(immanent performance assessment 80% attendance requirement!)

and not only at the end in the form of a final examination

several advantages:

- The workload is distributed regularly over the semester.

- The assessment is not a snapshot.

- Teaching methods can be changed and adapted if necessary.

be adapted.

- Students take active responsibility for the learning process and

are given individual options for action.

The ILV is assessed in detail by the following partial assessments

assessed:

1. 4 reviews of the literature developed in self-study in the form of

form of (self-) assessments in the learning management system

moodle (20 20 10 10 points)

2. 270° assessment of the group work and the flipchart presentation

Practical project through peer grading (external assessment in the peer group, self-assessment

group, self-assessment and lecturer) (20 points)

3. participation in case study project controlling workshop (20 points)

The overall assessment of all partial performances will be communicated by the course instructor

communicated in Moodle. The maximum achievable number for the

overall assessment of all partial performances is 100 points.

The overall assessment is based on the following grading scale

and is communicated by the course management in the student portal:

> 0 to 59 points => Not sufficient (5)

> 60 points or more => Satisfactory (4)

> 70 points or more => Satisfactory (3)

> from 80 points => Good (2)

> 90 points or more => Very good (1)
