Mfg Sys Design For Sustain

Catalog description

P: Senior or graduate class standing in engineering or science degree program, or consent of instructor. This course prepares manufacturing and information technology leaders to design and analyze manufacturing processes to achieve manufacturing system objectives that meet internal and external customers quality, cost and delivery requirements within a safe environment. The course project covers major aspects of manufacturing system design and Industry 4.0 in the context of meeting customer needs. Technology leaders and entrepreneurs learn how to work with others to develop the design of manufacturing systems that are sustainable (business, ecological, social, technological) for the long-term. When to use lean and six-sigma techniques in the context of the manufacturing enterprise system design to meet customer needs will be assessed from a system design perspective, through analytical and computer simulation techniques, and through the use of physical modeling tools.
