Work Flow & Facility Design

This course is an instructional perspective on optimizing the flow of a product between operations or within the organization or facility. Different types of workflow scenarios (such as Job Shop, and Production Line) will be used to teach the student to analyze the capacity needed and determine the best flow or layout required.
