Recommended: How lean approach is utilised in the production system

Tooling U introduced me to many of the potential possibilities within the Industrial Technology industry. Before taking this class I felt that I did not completely understand what my major entailed. I understood the basics of what Industrial Technology and Packaging offered, but I did not fully realize all of the endless possibilities related to it. The key concepts that I studied throughout this course consisted of; Abrasives, Additive Manufacturing, Adhesives, CNC, Electrical Systems, Fasteners, Hydraulics and Pneumatics, Inspection, Manual Machining, Materials, Metal Cutting, Quality, Robotics, Safety, Shop Essentials, Supervisor Essentials and Welding. Many of the these courses reinforced information that I have already learned, but also peaked my interest and taught me …show more content…

Since I am a Lean Team Student Assistant for Dr. Olsen, who focuses on the methodology of Lean, these courses strengthened my already existing knowledge while still offering additional information. In addition, these courses were especially engaging since I am leaning towards concentrating in Operations. By taking these courses I was able to gain a greater understanding of how to apply industrial decisions in support of business goals and make actions become more efficient when it comes to production and supply chain. As well as, how certain standardizations were created by OSHA and ISO 9000 to help maintain a safe and efficient workspace. Another very useful course department was shop essentials. The information taught from these courses can easily be applied the ITP lab sections such as ITP 260 and ITP 341! More over, this course helped prepared me for the ITP capstone course 467 by expanding my knowledge on how to create and produce certain products. As well as what technical manufacturing processes and important business decisions I should be using and making to be successful in that

    Without a doubt the lessons and exercises on time management were the most meaningful to me. They brought insight into why I seemed to be constantly working yet still never really got anything I wanted to accomplish throughout the day finished. I realized the majority of the activities I had been spending the most time on didn’t reflect my values of hard work and self discipline and long term academic goals to be successful in college. This motivated to completely change the way I managed my time by effectively striking a balance between my maintenance, committed, and free time.

    For my assignment I have decided to choose a group which I have just finished taking for level 1 Hairdressing and they have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. This is within my current role as a hairdressing lecturer at Hugh Baird College which I have done since October. Within this group there are a couple of people who have support workers. There is one student within the group who has severe learning difficulties and is a more mature student. She also has many health problems which results in her having to carry an oxygen tank around for when she has any problems with her breathing due to her having problems with her heart. There is also another student in the class who has learning difficulties, she is very clever but just needs someone there for when she needs something explaining. She also has a support worker that comes in to give her support. This student has also been going through personal problems at home and has attendance issues. There is another student within this group who has severe dyslexia. She doesn’t have a support worker but the support people who are in there do give her help as she can have a tendency to give up, not to listen and just needs to be kept on track so by sitting next to a person that does have a support worker she gets the help from them. These three students have all had their level 1 qualification extended for a year were the rest of the group have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. Two of these students may progress on to level 2 but one doesn’t have the ability to be able to do this as the requirements are too high for her. The reason the course was extended for them was because they were struggling with the work that was required for this qualification, but as the col...

Instead of having a very relaxing week and then panicking at the end of the week when everything is due, this course has helped me to plan out my studies. Planning them out helps me produce higher quality work and assists me with my stress problem. One thing that has helped a lot is getting short easy assignments or parts of assignments done in short periods of extra time I have. For example, instead of turning on that TV, wait ten minutes and knock out an assignment. Another asset for myself has been setting dates to have assignments done. Although these assignments may not be due on that day, getting them done and out of the way, makes more time for other
