Manufacturing Systems and Simulation
Manufacturing Engineering
Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering
Course Description
Advanced elements, planning and integration issues of manufacturing systems, including modeling and simulation of manufacturing operations. How to apply simulation to validate lean processes that eliminate waste, learn the basics of queuing theory, basic statistical analysis by analyzing raw data and fitting that data to the proper distribution, how to run multi-scenario experiments that are statistically correct by running multiple replications to provide valid confidence intervals of performance. \n
