VR and AR in lean manufacturing classes

Abstract

The paper presents preliminary results of research on integrating Virtual and Augmented Reality in Production Management and Lean Manufacturing classes. The aim of the classes is to familiarize students Production Management and Lean Manufacturing tools which are commonly used in many manufacturing enterprises. Two applications (VR training application and AR assembly instructions) were tested by a number of students of Production Engineering. The results suggest that both applications can improve the process of assembly operations as well as LM classes.
