Catalog Description
Basics of design, analysis and
selection of manufacturing facilities and material handling
equipment. Approaches to analyzing manufacturing and material
handling systems. Applications of computers in modern facilities
design and material handling with emphasis on material flow
control and storage. Economic justification models for manufacturing
and material handling systems. Prerequisite: IE 326.
Course Overview
This is an introductory course on facilities
planning with emphasis on the analysis, design and evaluation of manufacturing
facilities and material handling systems. The topics covered include definition
of facilities planning, role of product process and schedule design,
flow analysis and activity relationship, capacity and space requirements
planning, computer aided layout planning, material handling systems and
equipment, storage and warehousing, mathematical approaches to location
problems, and performance evaluation and selection among alternatives.
Course Objectives
Students completing this course will
be able to understand:
• the concepts of planning, locating
and designing efficient facilities
• material handling sytems and their
applicability
• warehousing systems and logistics.

Policy |
|
|
1. Assignments or homeworks -
bi-weekly
15%
Assignments are intended to reinforce the material
discussed in the lectures. Most assignments will provide practice on
the detailed procedures and calculations in facilities planning using
hypothetical problems of small size. One case study and one report on
a plant-tour will also be assigned as homework. The work will be individual
in this case.
2. Short quizzes
-
10%
About 4 or 5 short quizzes will be given in-class,
either before a lecture of at the end to emphasize active learning of
the material on an ongoing basis. These may be surprise (pop) quizzes,
although you will often be alerted about the approximate date. One (and
only one) of the lowest grades will be dropped. If you miss a quiz, that
can be considered as your lowest grade. Make ups will most likely not
be provided.
3. Term Project
-
15%
Group projects will be performed, addressing
problems encountered in real-type applications. Each group (of 4) will
seek a manufacturing (preferable) or non-manufacturing enterprise like
a factory, health care facility, education facility, government building,
etc. and will study the facility design as related to the issues discussed
in the course. Recommendations for improving the current situation should
be included in the final report. Further direction will be provided during
the semester.
4. Exams
- two midterms (20% each), one final (20%)
60%
(+/- Grading scheme will be in effect)
