2. Purpose of Manufacturing Systems Management Program Manufacturing is undergoing rapid change. Global competition, rapid advances in manufacturing technology, integration across the enterprise and an expanding role for software are putting pressure on manufacturing businesses from the Fortune 500 to small job shops. Success now requires manufacturing professionals with up-to-date knowledge and skills in these rapidly evolving fields. Developed in consultation with business and industry leaders and professionals in manufacturing, the SMU MSMSM program is unique in providing both the latest in technology and the broad management skills needed for success in today’s business. The interdisciplinary program prepares manufacturing professionals to lead their companies in the integration of the entire product commercialization process – from concept, to design, to manufacturing process development, to production, and to distribution. The program provides a broad set of business skills to manage this integrated process including strategies, globalization, project management, and quality. The program is built in three parts. The core technology courses provide the basic building blocks for the modern product realization process, the latest computer assisted tools on the factory floor and fundamentals of quality engineering and management. The management core courses provide an introduction to modern management, exposure to financial measurement and depth in operations management. Each student with the assistance of a faculty advisor then has the opportunity to select electives best suited to their career needs from an approved list of specialized electives or other course offerings in packaging, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing management, and engineering management.

Classes are purposely scheduled so that they do not interfere with other senior classes Distance Learning All courses being taught in the Electronic Packaging Program are being taught on-campus and across the nation in the format of Distance Learning. Local students may attend classes on campus or elect to receive DVDs by mail and study the class material at any time that fits within their busy schedules. Busy working professionals can take advantage of this flexibility and convenience to achieve an advanced education. Degree studies may now be balanced against work priorities. It is easy to communicate with professors via telephone, fax, and email. The courses are offered via DVDs mailed to the students following the classroom instruction. Lecture notes are provided to the student via email attachment, so that the notes are available when the student views the DVD. The degree program totals 30 semester credit hours (ten 3-hour courses) with no on-campus or thesis requirement. The program is designed to further your career goals and is ideally suited for military personnel, whether stationed in the US or abroad.
