The Department of Engineering Management and Enterprise at the Faculty of Engineering of UD has been the first to establish and launch a Lean postgraduate program in Hungary.
“It is important for us to focus on corporate demands and provide the most recent state-of-the-art methods that have been tried and tested to our future engineers and to do all that in a practice-oriented form. The establishment of our Lean Lab is supposed to assist us in working towards that objective, and our students will be able to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge for that at both BA and MA levels,” said Edit Szűcs, former Dean of the Faculty of Engineering to the portal hirek.unideb.hu.

In the specialization on Material Handling and Logistics, they can study the operation of material handling equipment and systems as well as the methodology of supply management, whereas the Construction Industry specialization will provide them with the necessary knowledge regarding the implementation and organization of construction technologies.
