What this course will do: • Provide an understanding of problems and issues in manufacturing design • Build flow models embodying the components of the manufacturing process • Use operations research tools to analyze models and make decisions • Identify waste in the manufacturing process • Use models to quantify waste • Use models for decisions to alleviate waste
Numerical parameters describe components • Operation • Transportation • Inspection
Operations Involving Waiting • Delays • Storage
Our Goal: • Build models to answer significant design questions • Use operations research tools to provide assistance to decision makers
For Homework • Table manufacture problem • Identify some simple process • Construct an operations process chart • Give estimates of the important parameters for each operation defined
