Key decisions covered include when to intervene in the process to prevent defects, scheduling machinery part replacements, improving equipment efficiency, and optimizing tool and device use. The course will be delivered through a mix of PowerPoint presentations, industry examples, case studies, and hands-on exercises. The instructor will lead engaging, interactive sessions to ensure a dynamic learning experience.
