MS in Lean Systems
Lean thinking has emerged as a powerful approach for enhancing efficiency, reducing waste, and achieving operational excellence in both manufacturing and service industries. While other Lean programs focus primarily on manufacturing, the Master of Science in Lean Systems (MSLS) provides the knowledge and tools necessary to understand, implement, and lead Lean practices in a variety of organizational settings.
The Master of Science in Lean Systems (MSLS) provides students with a deep understanding of Lean principles, systems thinking, and their application across diverse industries. The program combines the core tenets of Lean methodology with cutting-edge systems engineering concepts to produce graduates who are adept at optimizing complex systems, driving operational excellence, and leading transformative change within organizations.
Program Structure: The MSLS program is typically structured over a span of two academic years and
comprises a blend of core courses, elective courses, and a culminating capstone experience.
