Lean Green Belt
Wed, Apr 24, 2013 @ 09:00 AM - 05:00 PM
Executive Education
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: TBA,
Talk Title: Lean Green Belt
Abstract: Course Overview
This three-day course provides an in-depth understanding of lean enterprise principles and how to apply them within your organization. Your lean journey begins with a series of interactive simulations that demonstrate how each lean concept is applied and its impact on the process. Mapping the process flow and identifying the activities that add value from the customer's perspective is the cornerstone of this class. The class is then given a scenario and the students simulate the conversion from traditional to lean in a practical hands-on environment. The course also provides a structure for how to manage a lean process for continuous improvement. Participants will learn how to structure their organizations to support and continuously improve a lean process. Participants will also fully understand how to implement 5S within their plants and how to begin reducing setup time using the SMED process.

Location [back to top]
Two course delivery options are available for participants: on campus and online with interactivity:
On-Campus: Course is held in state-of-the-art facilities on the University of Southern California campus, located in downtown Los Angeles. Participants attending on campus will have the option to commute to the course or stay at one of the many hotels located in the area.
Overview of on-campus option:
The ability to interact with faculty and peers in person.
Access to hard copy course materials.
Ability to logon and view archived course information - up to 7 days after the course has been offered. This includes course documents and streaming video of the lectures.
If there is a conflict during any on-campus course dates, on-campus participants can elect to be an online/interactive student.
Parking, refreshments and lunch are provided for on-campus participants â⬓ unless otherwise specified.
Online with Interactivity: Course delivery is completely online and real-time, enabling interaction with the instructor and fellow participants. Participants have the flexibility of completing the course from a distance utilizing USC's Distance Education Network technology. Students are required to be online for the entirety of each day's session.
Overview of online (interactive):
Virtually participate in the course live â⬓ with the ability to either ask questions by phone or type questions via the ââ¬Åchatââ¬Â function to the entire class.
WebEx technologies provide the option to call into the class and view the entire lecture/materials on a personal computer, or to participate on a computer without having to utilize a phone line.
Ability to logon and view archived course information up to 7 days after the course has been offered. This includes course documents and streaming video of the lectures.
Continuing Education Units
CEUs: 2.1 (CEUs provided by request only)
The USC Viterbi School of Engineering Certificate of Participation is awarded to all participants upon successful completion of the course.
The USC Viterbi School of Engineering Certificate of Completion and the Institute of Industrial Engineering certification in Lean Green Belt will be awarded to those participants that pass the assessment on the final day of the course.

Multi-Core and Heterogeneous High Performance Cloud Computing
Wed, Apr 24, 2013 @ 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Stephen P. Crago, Director, Adaptive Parallel Execution Division, ISI
Talk Title: Multi-Core and Heterogeneous High Performance Cloud Computing
Abstract: Cloud computing has become the dominant paradigm for making computing available at scale while reducing the cost of providing that computing and allowing for dynamic provisioning. Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) all provide compute and storage capabilities to users at different levels of the software stack. IaaS provides infrastructure to users at the level of a virtual machine and boot image that can include an operating system and a base software stack, which can be specified by the user. Compute services are typically provided on commodity servers based on the x86 processor architecture that hide hardware architecture details by design. At the same time, data centers (including computing providers) are becoming limited by power and general-purpose single-core processor performance has leveled off and is even decreasing. Applications that require additional computational performance will increasingly rely on exploiting parallelism, compute accelerators (e.g. GPUs), and heterogeneous architectures.
In this talk, I will discuss research that we are performing to make heterogeneous, high-performance computing available in the cloud, and a research agenda based on introspective systems that will enable users and applications to manage parallelism and heterogeneity in increasingly complex and dynamic environments.
Biography: Stephen Crago leads the Adaptive Parallel Execution (APEX) group, which seeks novel ways to automate parallel computing. Such automation is becoming crucial as parallelism gains rapidly outpace manual programming abilities. The team includes experts in computer architecture, parallel programming, cloud computing, reconfigurable computing, wireless communication, and tool development.
Crago’s interests include computer architecture, multiprocessors, high-performance, heterogeneous cloud computing, embedded processing, performance analysis and optimization. He also works in intelligent control of computing resources, and optimizations for processing time, throughput, efficiency and scalability and in algorithm implementation and hardware prototyping for novel computing architectures.
Crago joined ISI in 1997 and has led many projects, large and small, across the range of his research interests. He received his Ph.D. in computer engineering from the University of Southern California.
