This course will be composed of understanding basic elements utilized in a total quality environment in business and industry. The students will examine all aspects of basic measuring concepts and procedures including: the review of basic arithmetic operations; measuring features and units of measurement; theory of precision and accuracy; reading and understanding basic tolerancing; conversion of measurement from the English System to the Metric System and visa-versa; reading and understanding precision gauge blocks, scaled rule, depth gauge, optical comparator; basic principles of angular measurement; orientation of coordinate measuring machine (CMM); introduction to statistical process control (SPC). The course will also introduce the student to the use of parts per million (PPM) including the understanding of how to calculate PPM. The student will have the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired through a variety of in-class/laboratory activities utilizing the tools and methods discussed in a hands on approach to measuring. Prerequisites: None.

This course will provide an introduction to Cellular Manufacturing Principles and Design. This course will provide information on such topics as: Introduction to Cellular Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, Teambuilding, Theory of Constraints, Inventory Control, Cell Layout, Time and Motion Study, Setup Time Reduction, as well as in class projects related to these topics.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an overview of total quality systems and statistical process control. Total quality is a means for manufacturing to improve quality, productivity, and to maintain is competitive position. You will utilize flow charts, diagrams, pareto analysis, and other means analyzing and evaluating data such as SPC. You wil learn to identify quality characteristics derived frm vaiable and attribute data, the use of statistical rules for interpretation of control charts to analyze and recommend appropriate actions on factors affecting process variation.
-
2.00 Credits
An introduction to management techniques as they relate to a production based company. Discussion of production planning systems, master scheduling techniques, capacity management/constraints, and inventory issues.
-
2.00 Credits
Adopt Lean Manufacturing as a way to reduce costs, better satisfy customers, and increase profitability. In the process of becoming lean, companies must identify and prioritize the initiatives and projects they will undertake to become lean. This course outlines a discipline for identifying and planning Lean Manufacturing initiatives, including the selection of metrics by which to evaluate and track the results of the projects. It offers a methodolgy for linking the goals and metrics of a project or initiative to a company's strategic goals and metrics and provides the basis for tracking the effectiveness of implementation of lean initiatives. This course also emplores the interdependency of the Fiver Primary Elements: organization, metrics, logistics, manufacturing flow, and process control. This course also describes a proven, applied approach to creating a lean program using these elements. Prerequisites: None.
-
2.00 Credits
This course presents the planning methods for implementation of Lean initiatives. Process planning through establishing operations and sequences, is supplemented by measurements of required work centers and operations. Detection and elimination of system waste is stressed, while improving on-time delivery and scheduling stability. A secondary objective consists of fulfilling a "train-the-trainer" role, in order to allow the student to train personnel at other facilities. Prerequisites: None.
