description Course Description and Prerequisite: Instructor Consent. methodologies of manufacturing systems. Effective design and implementation of manufacturingPrinciples, practices and operations, production, control, quality, and automated systems.
Course Objectives: This class introduces MSEM students to the world of manufacturing and production systems and to the more general realm of operations management. We will explore the history of industrial engineering, the major elements of a manufacturing operation, the role of facility design, work measurement, information, inventory, quality, human resource
management, capacity planning, automation and optimization in a manufacturing system.
General Course Structure
(exams, assignments, etc.) are done solely on an individual basis. The manner in which this course is structured is such that active participation of all class members throughout the semester is essential.
This course is designed to contribute primarily to student abilities to:
Define modeling in the context of production planning. Develop forecasts for future production.
Learn fundamental principles of inventory control.
Define a supply chain and its elements; also define its impact on the production planning process.
Apply basic inventory control, capacity planning, material requirements planning and scheduling models in an operations environment.
Distinguish between push and pull systems. Develop schedules in production shops.
Topics Covered:
Introduction to Manufacturing Systems Role of Inventory
Manufacturing Strategy and the Supply Chain Aggregate Planning
Single-Stage Inventory Control Decentralized Pull Systems Materials Requirements Planning Just-In-Time Philosophy
Shop Scheduling Shop Floor Control
Relationship to Program Outcomes:
This course contributes to the achievement of the following BS-MSE program outcomes: Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering [a]
Ability to identify, formulate, and solve manufacturing systems engineering problems [e] Ability to use the contemporary techniques, skills, and tools necessary for effective
manufacturing systems engineering practice [k]
Understanding of the design of products, and the equipment, tooling and environment necessary for their manufacture [m]
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. The syllabus offers important and relevant information regarding the course objectives, student conduct, performance, expectations, assignments, and the grading scale. Please read it thoroughly.
2. Class members are encouraged to maintain personal and professional standards consistent with The Fundamental Principles of the Code of Ethics of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology; i.e.,
Engineers uphold and advance the integrity, honor and dignity of the engineering profession by:
a. using their knowledge and skill for the enhancement of human welfare;
b. being honest and impartial, and serving with fidelity the public, their employers and clients;
c. striving to increase the competence and prestige of the engineering profession; and d. Supporting the professional technical societies of their disciplines.
3. Class members will be considerate and respectful to their colleagues, and to the instructor. 4. Course presentations are typically not replications of textbook material. The posted Power Point
lecture notes are provided as a companion to the textbook, which is mandatory to read as assigned.
5. Class members are responsible for material in textbook reading assignments, and HW assignments (end-of-chapter exercises, Excel HW, Final Project).
6. Cheating on the exams will result in no credit for the exam in question, and you will be referred to the college administration. This is university policy and there will be no exceptions. All students should be aware that even one incident of academic dishonesty may also merit expulsion from the University.
7. Tardy submissions are unacceptable to the instructor and unfair to other class members. Professionalism dictates timely submission of the project report.
8. Plus/minus grading will be used for the overall course grade.
9. Withdrawing from (dropping) this course should be accomplished during the first two weeks of instruction. Please note that failure to officially drop this class results in a grade of U, which is the equivalent of an F for your transcript and grade point average. For additional information regarding withdrawals, see FAQs at www.csun.edu/msem, or contact your academic advisor. 10. Budgeting 5-6 hours per week for this course, in addition to class participation, is not
Please note that no LATE assignments will be accepted and no
Make up exams are given unless there is a documented emergency
situation.
Notes:
1)Tentative schedule: dates/assignments/topics covered may change as deemed necessary. 2) Exam time slots and research presentations will be announced as the semester progresses. 3) All course materials are on my web site.
