Catalog description

International Manufacturing Engineering (2-3) Practical issues of design, analysis, and integration of international manufacturing engineering components are covered. Emphasis is placed on dynamics of material flow, international planning hierarchies, fundamentals of enterprise resource planning, and the effects of automation on scheduling strategies and materials flow in a labor-intensive environment. Concurrent engineering, function deployment, group technology, process planning, and assembly line design focused on border operations are stressed. A focus on discrete production, with control systems such as MPR, Kanban, JIT, OPT, and synchronous manufacturing are covered. A team project and presentation is required.
