Operations Management Capstone II

Catalog description

For ETM 4622, the enrolled students use the documentation and project plan developed as a part of their culmination experience in ETM 4621. Based on this documentation they develop a production management plan, tooling, an inventory control system, work instructions and a quality control plan to execute a production run. Students gain supervision and management experience through this where each group manages their peers to produce 15-25 products in a 6 hour time period. Students evaluate their peers as part of the assessment. The same student groups from ETM 4621 are maintained and so students complete ETM 4621 and 4622 in two consecutive semesters. Under special circumstances students are assigned to one of the teams in ETM 4622 by the instructor.
