- Course Prerequisite(s)
- Prerequisite knowledge and/or skills
-
Students taking IE415 are expected to have a basic understanding of production systems, production planning and control, and modeling and analysis of manufacturing systems
- Textbook(s) and/or other required material
-
There is no formal textbook required for this course. Lecture notes and laboratory related notes are made available to students. Reference books and video tapes are kept on reserve in the library.
- Course objectives
-
This course will provide an introduction to the design and analysis of manufacturing systems. The course will develop students knowledge in three areas: manufacturing processes and computer-integrated manufacturing systems, manufacturing system design and analysis, and modern manufacturing management strategies.
- Topics covered
-
Introduction to materials and engineering drawing.
Steel making.
Turning Operations.
Milling Operations.
Sheet Metal Operations.
Casting and Heat Treatment.
Plastics.
Non-conventional manufacturing processes.
Semiconductor manufacturing and circuit board assembly.
-
Evolution of manufacturing systems.
Inventory Models.
MRP,JIT and Kanban.
Flexible manufacturing systems.
Assembly line and balancing.
Recent Manufacturing strategies.
Dynamics of manufacturing systems.
Performance evaluation of manufacturing systems.
Problems facing traditional accounting systems.
Activity-based costing.
Justification of manufacturing systems.
- Class/laboratory schedule
-
Lectures twice a week: 75 minutes duration each lecture.
Laboratory session once a week: one hour duration each laboratory session
(Students may sign up for one of several different laboratory sections)
- Contribution of course to meeting the professional component
- This course contributes primarily to the students' knowledge of engineering topics, and does provide design experience.
The following statement indicates which of the following considerations are included in this course: economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability.
-
-
Through the lectures and projects related to manufacturing process selection, system design, analysis and justification, the course gives significant consideration to manufacturability issues and also touches upon economic, environmental and sustainability issues.
- Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives and outcomes
- This course primarily serves students in the department. The information below describes how the course contributes to the undergraduate program objectives.
-
-
IE415 supports the department's IE program objectives by developing in students a deeper understanding of how to
-
(1) Use Appropriate Techniques, Skills, and Tools to Identify, Formulate, Analyze, and Solve Industrial Engineering Problems: This includes
Use computer tools such as simulation & spreadsheets.
Know what information is necessary and sufficient to solve IE problems.
Choose, apply, constructively critique, and potentially adapt or extend appropriate IE techniques.
Recognize, describe, predict, and analyze systems behavior.
Understand managerial accounting and economic principles.
-
(2) Design a System, Component, or Process to Meet an Identified Need. This includes how to
Integrate problem solutions into a proposed action program or plan.
Maintain a systems level perspective, yet have an appreciation for product design and operational level issues. Identify opportunities for improvement
-
(3) Know where to get help, have good seeking skills to gain new knowledge or information, be familiar with information technology,and understanding the literature of the profession.
-
(4) Communicate Effectively and Work Well on Teams.
This includes
Write clearly and grammatically.
Be proficient in technical communication including graphics.
Justify, communicate and sell a solution at all levels, both technical and nontechnical.
Contribute to solving IE problems & cooperate with other engineers to solve other engineering problems.
- Assessment of student progress toward course objectives
-
Students' progress toward the course objectives are measured or assessed using a variety of mechanisms including:
Quizzes/Examinations (mid-term and final).
Laboratory homeworks
and several team-based projects.
One project entitled "Product Dissection" helps assess students understanding of manufacturing processes and their applications.
Another project provides students a realistic manufacturing company scenario and requires them to develop suggestions for improvement.
The laboratory based exercises and homeworks enable students to demonstrate their depth of understanding of computer-integrated manufacturing systems by individually operating various components of a computer-integrated manufacturing system, and finally culminating in the integrated operation of an entire flexible manufacturing cell.
