We assessed operations across industries.

Tauber Institute’s facility assessments expose students to operations and manufacturing processes practiced by a wide variety of organizations.

Tauber students learn to perform a rapid audit of the state of an operation, judge the relative leanness of the operation, prioritize targets of opportunity for improvement, and develop an action plan to facilitate those improvements. The students attended a mix of in-person and virtual tours this academic year, utilizing LeanFlix, an on-demand streaming library of award-winning Lean training videos that includes excellent Virtual Plant Tours. Students could safely see plant improvements as if they had visited in person! Tauber students also toured Menlo Innovations in Ann Arbor, Michigan and FANUC Robotics in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
