COURSE DESCRIPTION:
You will learn to design and plan production processes and operation sequences for
discrete parts. Group Technology and Cellular Manufacturing will be introduced.
Tolerance analysis of parts and processes, routings, operation sheets, and cost
estimates for manufacturing processes are also covered.

LEARNING OUTCOMES :
Upon the completion of this class, the student will be able to:
Analyze parts based on their functionality and manufacturing processes.
Identify manufacturing operations and plan their sequence needed to produce
discrete parts based on given drawings or functional specifications.
Specify process requirements to produce parts to existing print requirements.
Specify tolerance and surface finish requirements for a part to fit capabilities of
existing processes and machines.
Suggest alternatives in design requirements and process capabilities to provide
functional requirements of a given part.
Identify alternative manufacturing operations, processes and machines to be
used for production of a given part.
Perform basic estimation of manufacturing costs.
Develop process plans.
Classify parts using Group Technology.
Perform analysis of production flow in cellular manufacturing.

P ERFORMANCE C RITERIA
READING ASSIGNMENTS:
Each student must come prepared to every meeting. Assigned readings are
listed in the syllabus and shall be completed prior to the meetings.
HOMEWORKS AND PROJECTS:
Assignments must be submitted via course website unless otherwise specified.
After 48 hours homework will not be accepted.
Late homework penalty can be avoided if extension requested via email more
than 24 hours before the due date. Reference to time and date of email
request must be included with homework submission.

H OMEWORK C OLLABORATION :
Collaboration among your fellow students is expected and encouraged during the
homework. However, the work you submit must be your own. Identical solutions are
not acceptable under any circumstances. I suggest you attempt to formulate a
solution plan and try to work out the solution on your own, and ask around if you
encounter an obstacle.

A CADEMIC M ISCONDUCT :
All students are expected to demonstrate integrity in the completion of their
coursework. Academic integrity means doing one's own work and giving proper credit
to the work and ideas of others. It is the responsibility of each student to become
familiar with what constitutes academic dishonesty and plagiarism and to avoid all
forms of cheating and plagiarism. Students who engage in plagiarism and other
forms of academic misconduct will face academic and possibly disciplinary
consequences. Academic sanctions can range from a reduced grade for the
assignment to a failing grade for the course. From a disciplinary standpoint, an
Academic Misconduct Report may be filed and a Faculty Hearing Board may impose
sanctions such as probation, suspension or expulsion.
