IE 550: MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS
The goal of this course is to introduce
graduate students to the practice of Product, Process and Production
Engineering.
IE 550 is a graduate course that builds onto students understanding
of design, manufacturing processes and production control. The course
begins with an overview of product, process and production engineering
activities. Once the overview is completed, the specifics of product
specification are undertaken. Upon completion of engineering specification,
the linkage to product and process engineering is explored. Following
this activity, a full investigation of process engineering is undertaken
with a specific focus on the economics of manufacturing and process
engineering. The course concludes with an introduction to production
engineering and shop-floor control.
IE 450 is specified as a prerequisite for the course. All students taking the class should have completed a course in manufacturing processes, where traditional metal cutting activities were covered.
