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

In this learning activity you'll determine the measurement to be made and the accuracy required.

As a welder, you'll need to know how to convert between standard and metric measurements. Try this activity to practice converting between these two measurements. A conversion chart is provided to help you complete this work.

The student is asked to identify measurements on a dial caliper.

In this learning activity you'll review how to read a metric micrometer and use your knowledge to answer 12 questions.

Learners identify negative roles, match statements characteristic of each role, and relate how they have handled negative teams.

In this learning activity you'll follow 11 steps to take measurements using a Vernier caliper.

In this highly animated and interactive object, learners identify the types of waste in a manufacturing process.

The learner will understand how to properly use a fillet gage to measure weld size.

In this interactive object, learners review how to read a caliper. They then test their skills with eight practice questions.

In this interaction the student is presented with 17 questions testing his/her ability to read an inch O.D. micrometer.

Learners read a description of how an oscilloscope is used to measure the frequency of a sine wave.

Learners examine how metal detectors function. This object includes animation and sound.

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.

Following a "cut the fat" theme, learners click on 12 drawings of pigs to read about the principles of lean manufacturing.

Learners read how inches of water column is used as a unit of pressure measurement. Practical applications and a conversion formula to psi are included.

Learners read a brief introduction to in-control and out-of-control conditions and view a series of distribution curves. This is a follow-up to the learning object titled "Quality Basics: Variation."

This activity is a simulation that allows the learner to practice personal protective equipment tasks.

Learners read how the NOR gate can be configured to obtain the other common logic gates. Schematics and Boolean expressions demonstrate how the AND, OR, and Hex Inverter functions are achieved through the use of only NOR gates

In this module, we'll be introducing you to SIPOC, a powerful tool that can help you improve your business processes. It's a high-level process mapping tool that helps you identify the key components of a process and how they relate to each other. SIPOC diagrams are often used in Six Sigma and Lean methodologies, but they can be useful for any process improvement initiative. We’ll explain the key SIPOC components and demonstrate how to build one. Then, we’ll walk through a few scenarios and let you build your own.
