Helping Connecticut Aerospace Parts Manufacturers Become Lean

The objectives of the Center are (1) to bring modeling and simulation techniques and tools, through faculty and student teams, to the Connecticut aerospace parts manufacturers to support their efforts in implementing Lean / Six Sigma initiatives, (2) to provide the students with industrial projects for which they have the opportunity to work on the various stages of real world projects from problem definition to final reporting and presentation, and (3) to further promote amongst the students the concepts and techniques of modeling and simulation and their applications to manufacturing.The center is equipped with the state-of-the-art computing hardware and simulation software including ARENA and QUEST as well as other modeling and computational analysis software.It
