Write-up
The report should be clearly and concisely written (typically 15 pages in length using double
spaces, 12 point Times New Roman font, not counting exhibits, illustrations, and any
questionnaires you may use). There are no restrictions as to the number of sections, other than
that the report should have a table of contents, abstract, introduction, statement of the problem or
need (describe the purpose or need for the project, the problem that your project is designed to
address), literature review (minimum of 3 peer review articles or books for choice 1 and
minimum of 6 peer review articles or books for selecting choice 2 for your group project –
excluding the text book), discussion, recommendation (provide some recommendations for
improving company operations or best recommendations if you select choice 2 for your group
project), conclusion, and references. There should be two cover pages. The first one, should have
the arbitrary name of the company, the topic being addressed for the company and the names of
the project team. The second cover page should be an abstract that highlights what is addressed
as well as the group’s main recommendations. The abstract should be about 150 words.
if you choose choice 1, your report should include background information about the
company that you are studying, including its products, processes, manufacturing strategy (e.g.,
3
assemble-to-order, make-to-order, make-to-stock, engineer-to-order…etc.), and where
appropriate, also provide a historical perspective for why the company operates the way it does
now. Again, for confidentiality purposes, please use an arbitrary name for the company (s).
Please do not use any confidential information pertaining to any companies, individuals or
businesses.

participation and contribution to the work for each group member.

…popularity throughout industries has made other alternative methods less acceptable and
recognized (Dankbaar, 1997)

Although some researchers like Womack, Jones, and Roos (1990) and Karlsson and Ahlstrom
(1996) consider lean production for broader lean activities, other researchers like Hines, Holwe,
and Rich (2004) consider lean production for manufacturing floor activities and environments.
