本文将提供一幅成熟概念在工业管理项目背景下如何运作的图景。这将包括项目活动和短期课程之间的组合和时间安排，学生、教师、研究人员的驱动因素和动机，以及具体的小组工作是如何进行的，包括主管的角色和行业的角色。这一过程通过一名硕士研究生在持续改进领域的项目加以说明。最后，我们将讨论一些问题、变化和影响。

This paper will provide a picture of how the mature concept works in an industrial management program context. This will include questions like how is the mix and timing between the project activity and the short-courses, drivers and motivations for the student, teacher, researcher, and how is the specific group-work being carried out, including the role of the supervisor as well as the role of industry. The process is illustrated by means of a master student's projects in the area of Continuous Improvement. Finally, we will address some problems, changes and implications.
