Toyota Production System/Lean Manufacturing/Just-in-Time/Pull Production Study Lean Manufacturing as a Toyota Fellow http://www.crms.engr.uky.edu/lean/tf_main.html For students who want to help shape the future of manufacturing, the University of Kentucky (UK) offers a special opportunity. The Toyota Fellows Program is a chance to study lean manufacturing in the ideal classroom -- inside the company that developed the Toyota Production System, a key element in this innovative new approach to making products. Students will combine traditional classroom learning with a variety of experiential hands-on projects. Led by UK faculty from the College of Engineering and by staff engineers from the UK Center for Manufacturing , the Fellows take part in workshops and simulations offered by the center Lean Manufacturing program. In addition, each Fellow undertakes a semester-long internship at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky (Georgetown) or Toyota Motor Manufacturing, North America (Erlanger). Guided by the spirit of the lean approach, the Toyota Fellows Program stresses the creative and the innovative. Students master the lean fundamentals and then go on to contribute original research that will help advance and enrich this transformative approach to manufacturing. Cross-disciplinary work is supported and actively encouraged. To Apply: The first step in becoming a Toyota Fellow is to apply to a University of Kentucky graduate program relevant to lean manufacturing. Relevant programs include all engineering disciplines, business/economics, and communications. Once accepted, apply to become a Toyota fellow. Individuals with a B. S. in engineering from an American Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited institution may apply to the M. S. program. Students with an M. S. may apply to the Ph. D. program. For either program, submit a resume, college transcripts, and a list of three references to: Dr. Kozo Saito Faculty Associate UK Center for Manufacturing Professor, Mechanical Engineering University of Kentucky Lexington KY 40506-0108 Phone: (859) 257-6262 ext. 502 Stipend: For those seeking the M. S., the stipend is $18, 000 per calendar year. For those seeking the Ph. D., the stipend is $20, 000. All Toyota fellows receive full academic tuition waiver. The fellowship is renewable. A Message from Dr. Saito An undergraduate degree in engineering is an important step in the process but it isn't the whole story. There is a bigger, more complex, more interesting world of engineering than the one students are often exposed to in an undergraduate program. For those adventurous students who wish to explore beyond the boundaries of the typical, the Toyota Fellows program offers a special path for growth and exploration. You will learn from lean manufacturing experts who are changing something very basic in our world: how products are made. You will get your eyes opened (and your hands dirty) during an internship at nearby Toyota. The research you do as a Toyota Fellow will have an impact on how lean manufacturing works in the real world. You will also learn from your fellow students - who might be from the U.S., Malaysia, Germany, Jordan or any number of other countries. Opportunities to exchange ideas and insights will develop during projects or the internship or the regular meetings of the lean manufacturing student association. Out of those exchanges will come a valuable lesson in one of the most difficult and most vital aspects of creative engineering: the ability to see the world differently. To work and learn with fellow engineers from other cultures will help you see your world with new eyes. =============================================================== Indonesian Production and Operations Management Society (IPOMS). http://www.ipoms.or.id/mambo =============================================================== [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
