Course Summary:


This is an entry graduate level course on the design of Manufacturing Systems. Students will learn about different types of manufacturing systems, and the components that are essential to the performance of such systems. Tools of Optimization will be used as the central techniques to assist in the design of manufacturing system components, as well as integrated solutions.
The course will integrate issues ranging from product design, human centered aspects of manufacturing, Cellular manufactuing, Layout planning, Material Handling Systems, and Flexible Manufacturing/Assembly systems.

The official textbook is Askin-Standridge. Notes for most lectures and tutorials should be linked thorugh this web-page. I shall sometimes give out papers or other reading materials. Professor Ham, who co-instructed this course in Spring 1998 also recommended Hitomi's book, which is very good for the process engineering aspects.

Schedule of Events:


The following table gives an ambitious plan of events. We shall proceeed acording to this plan, and modify the pace and depth of coverage of topics (or even skip some topics) depending on the comfort level of the class with the materials. as the course goes along, I shall link each cell with the lecture materials; so please re-load this page regularly.
