In this animated object, learners examine what happens to lead and cycle times when the batch size is reduced.

In this learning activity you'll construct a production possibility model.

In this animated object, learners examine automated manufacturing systems classified as motion control, batch process control, and continuous process control.

In manufacturing, controlling the production process is critical. Part of this control is knowing when to make adjustments and when to let the line run. Step onto the production line in our manufacturing plant and learn what process variation is and how it impacts your bottom line.

In a series of three interactive exercises, learners explore the relationship between process cycle time and defect detection, and between process cyle time and smaller batch sizes. The techniques of lean/JIT are applied to achieve the continuous improvement (kaizen) goal of reducing inventory by pursuing one-piece flow.

The learner identifies ways to eliminate or minimize wastes found in business processes. A quiz completes the activity.

Learners read how kanban is used in production control.

In this animated object, users view how a kanban signals production to start.

Learners view a heijunka box and read how this tool is used for scheduling production in a pull system.

Learners read how low defect levels can cut production costs. Six Sigma success means reduced inspection expenses, less rework, and fewer customer complaints.

This learning object describes the production of an alternating current in a generator with a single-loop armature. An illustration of how a sine wave is produced is shown through animation.

The learner will understand the meaning of terms and acronyms commonly used in a lean production system.

In this interactive lesson, students use critical thinking to determine the best lean manufacturing initiative when solving problems for the fictitious Batchless Manufacturing Company.

Learners examine the structure and function of skin including the production of melanin.

In this learning object, you will learn about four blood osmolality and volume regulators, their sites of production, their sites of action, and the results of those actions.

In this lesson on atomic structure, learners examine how the binding energy of electrons affects light production in certain phosphors used in x-rays.

This learning object demonstrates the process by which antigens are identified, processed, and presented to mediators of the cellular immune system.
