Introduction
Introduction
The capstone major objective: To help students enhance their project management and teamwork skills through participation in collaborative projects to accomplish work activities for business and industry clients.
It incorporates tried and proven approaches to providing students with opportunities to engage in business and industry projects, thus enhancing their ability for engineering and management practices. We are sill learning and ….
The capstone integrates research, proposal development, and design experience based on the knowledge and skills acquired in earlier coursework. The capstone also incorporates standards and realistic constraints.
Introduction
Capstone Focus Areas - The approaches to the design and delivery of the capstone include three areas of focus:1. client and projects,2. student teams, and3. learning outcome assessment

Soliciting Projects
Formal project solicitation takes place year round Projects are conducted during spring semesters. Currently some
changes are taking place. The project solicitation announcement and document include the
criteria for project selection, timelines, clients’ responsibilities, and a brief outline of costs associated with a project.
The following requirements are communicated between clients and the capstone instructor/facilitator: project background, goals, requirements, timing, budget, statement
of work, etc., timely access to the facilities and information, designating a contact person acting as a liaison, and participating in project team evaluation.
Selecting Projects
Some guidelines to consider when selecting projects:
Project objectives and the course/program learning objectives should be congruent.
Project scope should be appropriate for the number of students in the team and the duration of the course.
Project rigor must be sufficient. The students should be able to solve problems using existing
management, engineering, or technology methods and tools. When possible, avoid critical-path projects. Clients must have commitment and expressed interest to work with
project teams. Concerns and issues regarding intellectual property should have been
addressed prior to committing to the projects.

The Ugly Truth
WASTE!
< 5% Value Added Time > 95% Non-Value Added Time
Typical Process Analysis Findings

Conducting Projects
Most productivity improvements are no/low cost in nature!
Applying various tools to separate VALUE ADDED and NON-VALUE ADDED activities is very helpful in identifying areas for improvements.

Effective Teams Key to the Success of the Projects
Integration of project management concepts or training.
Coverage or addressing teamwork and team dynamics. Establishing effective communication rules and or
requirements. Project teams participation in development of
statement of work.
Key concepts that can enhance a team’s ability in conducting projects include the following:
A shift in faculty roles toward a mentor and coach roles.A shifting of focus from teaching toward learning.

Challenges and Opportunities
Sustaining industry-sponsored projects (having steady industry projects) require addressing the challenges of:
1. maintaining the current client base and2. expanding the client base.
Establishing and maintaining contacts with businesses, professional organizations, and various private and governmental agencies can be very helpful in developing and enhancing a network of project clients.
The clients that have had positive experiences working with capstone teams can be an excellent source of recruiting new clients.
Establishment of effective processes for soliciting, selecting, and conducting projects that can contribute to the educational goals of the academic unit while addressing client needs.

Reducing or eliminating Waste through
application of LeanLean Definition:A systematic approach to the identification and elimination of waste or non-value added activities through continuous improvement.
Supplemental Information
Waste is anything that, from the perspective of a customer, adds cost to the product but does not add any value.
Seven Forms of Waste in Manufacturing1.Overproduction2.Unnecessary Inventory3.Defects4.Inappropriate Processing5.Waiting 6.Unnecessary Motion7.Transportation

C.1. Proper management and personnel policy can improve working environmentC.2. Training can develop appropriate skillsC.3. Better working conditions improve morale and reduce absenteeism
B.1. Better layout and process planning reduces unnecessary movementsB.2. Material handling adapted to activity reduces time and effortB.3. Production planning and control reduces ineffective timeB.4. Methods study of an activity reduces work content due to poor methods of work
B.5. Inventory control defines appropriate and most economical inventory levelsB.6. Preventive maintenance ensures longer life and continuous run of equipment
How Management Techniques Can Reduce Ineffective Time
Ability to adapt to a change environment Management and organizational skills People and communication skills Information acquisition Basically learning how to manage the work force but avoid micromanagement
For the purpose of enhancing supervisory and managerial capabilities.
