Participants develop knowledge and practical skills through demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on machining. Through CNC machinery operation and programming tasks, this module introduces participants to the capabilities of CNC turning centers and machining centers. Participants plan and implement the automatic production of parts using CNC machine tools. Conceptual Design Conceptual Design introduces participants to the phases of PRP, emphasizing areas in which a manufacturing technician would be most closely involved. Participants take part in product development teams, identify customer needs, derive functional requirements, design requirements, and design criteria, develop and present conceptual designs, and identify appropriate manufacturing processes for a design.
Participants design standardized work methods, processes, and motions.
Customer Satisfaction Customer Satisfaction introduces participants to the concepts of marketing and the relationship between marketing and customer satisfaction. Participants apply the elements of the marketing mix, the promotional mix, and pricing strategy to a product or service. This module introduces participants to the mathematical techniques for describing where an object is located, how its position changes, and how its velocity changes. In addition, participants learn to apply these concepts to technical operations, such as materials handling and robotics. Electrical and Electronic Controls Electrical and Electronic Controls prepares participants to select and use various electrical and electronic power and control devices appropriate for an industrial application.
