Simulation methodology emphasizing discrete, computer simulation modeling. Writing proficiency is required for a passing grade in this course. An investigation of material flow and physical distribution systems in discrete parts manufacturing. Topics include principles and techniques for the analysis and design of material handling systems, unit load design, equipment selection and justification, and warehousing and distribution logistics. Application of the morphology and iterative process of systems design with emphasis on designing and implementing solutions to actual industrial problems.
Students function independently in manufacturing and service systems.
Writing proficiency is required for a passing grade in this course. The course will focus on the practical aspects, applications, and methodology of M.I.S., particularly from the industrial engineer's perspective. Information systems design methodology will be covered in detail. Investigation of design issues and approaches for the analysis and design of manufacturing systems. Continuous-time stochastic processes and transform methods.
