Product Details

This case describes the meetings and development of a fictitious learning team at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. The purpose is to give students the opportunity to perform a waste audit on the learning processes of this team. The case gives students the opportunity to identify muda, non-value added activities, in a non-manufacturing environment. The case can be used in an operations course with the focus on process improvement and/or an organizational behavior course focused on personal time management and working in teams.
