NSPP 6325 Integrated Design and Manufacturing (3 sem. cr.)
This course introduces students to a process approach to engineering design, manufacturing, and service applications. Models, modeling tools, solution approaches, and methodologies for analysis and improvement of processes, including the product development and manufacturing processes, are discussed. The science of process modeling and analysis is illustrated with case studies.

 

NSPP 6410 Modeling Manufacturing Systems (3 sem. cr.)
This course examines general problems in the design, planning, and control of manufacturing systems. Emphasis is placed on system analysis using a variety of modeling techniques such as simple probability, linear programming, queuing theory, Markov chains, and discrete event simulation, with the objective of improving system performance. The course is self-contained so that no previous knowledge of these types of models is required. Although the course is targeted toward manufacturing industries, much of the material is directly applicable to a variety of service industries.
