ESD Courses at MIT Professional Education – Short Programs


Architecting the Future Enterprise [PI.28s]
Donna H. Rhodes, Ph.D., Deborah J. Nightingale, Ph.D.
Enterprises often evolve in an ad-hoc, suboptimal manner, without viewing the enterprise as a whole system. This course looks at the enterprise as a holistic and highly networked structure wherein planning and decisions must be accomplished by applying a systems perspective and architecting principles, considering all facets of the enterprise.

June 8-9, 2009 | Tuition: $1,595 | Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 1.2

Risk-Informed Operational Decision Management [22.97s]
George E. Apostolakis, Ph.D.
A participatory and thought-provoking program, this course is for nuclear plant and corporate managers, supervisors, engineers and other personnel who, while not probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) practitioners, want to learn how to apply PSA methods effectively. Increase your knowledge of PSA principles, including an understanding of the basis of PSA, its benefts and recent developments. Recognize the strengths and limitations of using PSA when making decisions. Share ideas, information, and challenges with industry peers.

June 15-19, 2009 | Tuition: $2,650 | Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 3.0

Value-Driven Tradespace Exploration for System Design [PI.27s]
Donna H. Rhodes, Ph.D., Adam Ross. Ph.D.
Multi-Attribute Tradespace Exploration (MATE) allows analysts and decision makers to quickly compare many system designs on a common basis to ensure “right” decisions are made at the beginning of system development. Issues of change (of many types), uncertainty, risk, flexibility and other “ilities,” and policy and other non-technical impacts are included.

June 22-25, 2009 | Tuition: $2,900 | Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 2.4

LAI Lean Academy® Course [PI.23s]
Annalisa Weigel. Ph.D.
Participants receive a hands-on introduction to lean and six sigma fundamentals for manufacturing, engineering, office, and supply chain applications. They learn how to eliminate waste to create value for all enterprise stakeholders. A Lego® enterprise simulation helps participants apply tools and concepts in a team situation. No previous Lean Six Sigma background is expected.

July 13-15, 2009 | Tuition: $2,200 | Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 2.1
