Description: Introduction to manufacturing and production systems; provides an overview of various aspects of manufacturing systems; includes design, analysis, operation and control; a perspective for manufacturing systems related problems and the complex interactions that they entail.
PREREQUISITES
CPSC 206; ENTC 200; STAT 211 or registration therein.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
Learn about the tools for formulating, modeling, and analyzing manufacturing operations problems
Improve skills for using tools for modeling and problem solving
Improve presentation and discussion skills
Improve skills for working effectively with others
TEXTBOOK AND ADDITIONAL COURSE MATERIAL
We will not have an official textbook in the class. I will place in our class folder all notes and other material necessary for the course including computer models and case studies. A manual for the MPX software and for the Capacity and Time Standard Model will be placed in our course folder.
TOPICAL OUTLINE
Teamwork
Tools for effective teaming
Team communication and management
Industry Visitor - Presentation of Issues related to production systems
Basic Elements of Manufacturing Operations
The Industrial Engineering Curricula - Relating course topics to the curricula
Operational and Capacity Planning of Production Systems
Manufacturing Modeling and Analysis - deterministic and probabilistic models
Recent Models Relating Cycle Time, Batch Size, WIP, and Throughput
Economic Analysis of engineering projects using Excel
Case Study I - Cycle Time Minimization under budgetary constraints
Case Study II - Building a model out of a real industrial situation
CLASS SCHEDULE
Tuesdays and Wednesdays: 9:35 - 10:50 a.m.
PROFESSIONAL COMPONENT
Students are prepared for engineering practice through a curriculum based on knowledge and skills acquired in earlier course work and incorporating engineering standards.
ABET OUTCOMES
During the course, students will demonstrate the following:
- ABET outcome A - The ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
Students learn how to apply basic knowledge in manufacturing operations, manufacturing processes, mathematical modeling, and engineering economy.
- ABET outcome D - The ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams.
Teamwork in an essential component of this course. Students are required to engage in cooperative learning exercises in the classroom. The elements and tools required for the effective participation in industry teams is presented in a four-hour team training. Students also work on two team-based design projects. Students are required to do a peer evaluation of team performance and the end of the semester. A team portfolio is also required.
- ABET outcome E - The ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
Students engage in the identification of industrial engineering problems in the context of modern production systems. Students use basic mathematical and computer modeling tools to formulate and solve some of the problems typically presented to industrial engineers in industry.
- ABET outcome G - Ability to communicate effectively.
Students constantly engage in team discussions and team presentations in the classroom. Two major presentations of design projects are also part of the course.
- ABET outcome K - Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
Students will be using several state-or-the-art software packages in the modeling and analysis of production systems.
