Executive Summary and Introduction:
Myself, Andre Louw (Industrial Engineering), and Mr A Young (eNtsa) visited the Engineering School of ECAM in Lyon from 26 – 28 May 2014.
My primary objectives were to investigate the ECAM approach on Lean manufacturing training and in particular their INEXO Platform. This platform is significant in its similarity to the SWEAT lab in the Industrial Engineering Department.
The visit lead to numerous contacts being made, learning taking place and discussions on potential collaborations between the NMMU and ECAM. Each of these topics will be discussed in the report below.
