You will also learn about common manufacturing processes including casting and molding, forming, joining, and surface treatment. This basic course will introduce you to the principles and practices of manufacturing cost estimating. You will learn the vocabulary and knowledge of cost structures necessary to communicate effectively with management and financial people. You will also learn estimation techniques for labor, materials and machine time, as well as how to prepare cost estimates for various types of manufacturing processes. This capstone course will allow you to apply and integrate previous course work by planning a manufacturing operation.
Modern manufacturing is a race against time.
In this course, you will learn how to win the race. The course covers techniques to synchronize and balance the entire product supply system. You will learn to apply the concepts of time-based manufacturing through simulations and computer modeling. This course introduces you to the processes of reasoning and logical thinking while focusing on applications of high level computer programming. This course is intended as an orientation for new Engineering students.
