2. Agenda
• Policies - This is an engineering course, I
do expect you to act like engineering
students. Independent, diligent, creative,...
• Engineering ethics
3. Overview
• What we will we be doing?
– IE450 is lots of fun. It may also be the most important class that
you take. It is the materials that I most frequently use in my
industry consulting.
– Manufacturing systems is a difficult topic that has hindered the
development of CIM implementation. People do not understand
how engineering systems fit together. This is the focus of IE450!
4. Background of IE450
• Dr. Ham developed the course 20 years ago,
and it has been evolving ever since.
• A lab was implemented in the course 2
years ago. We will use the lab section to
reinforce the class materials.
• Significant development has been put into
the class.
6. Once in a semester opportunity
• We will have 1-3 Case study
demonstrations within the semester as part
of the lab.
– It is a lot of work but fun as well
7. Introduction
• What is a “Manufacturing system”?
Interactions of many processes, products and
design decisions made in the engineering of a
product.
– Machine requirements planning
– Process planning
– Production planning
– Concurrent engineering
8. Vocabulary
• Glossary of terms
– CIM, CAD, CAM, CAD/CAM, NC, CNC,
FMS,
Simultaneous engineering, Concurrent
engineering,
Agile Engineering, Product Engineering, Process
Engineering
Production Engineering, ...
9. Goal and Objective
• GOAL -- Today’s manufacturing engineer
needs to identify and locate the most
efficient method to produce a product (in-
house or not)
• OBJECTIVE -- reduce time to market,
increase quality, reduce cost, and operate in
a tight capital environment
10. Today’s Situation
• Moving form paper driven systems or from
“stand-alone” business and engineering
systems
• Selling under-utilized resources to increase
profit
• Terminate inefficient (non competitive)
activities
11. A Vision of Integrated
Engineering Systems
ENGINEERING -- the planning, designing,
construction (manufacture), or
management of machinery, roads, bridges,
etc..
13. A Vision of Integrated
Engineering Systems (cont.)
INTEGRATE
– 1. to make or become whole or complete.
– 2. to bring parts together as a whole.
– 3. to remove barriers imposing segregation.
14. A Vision of Integrated
Engineering Systems (cont.)
INTEGRATED ENGINEERING
– planning, designing, construction and
management of a product.
19. A Vision of Integrated
Engineering Systems (cont.)
INTEGRATION
ENGINEERING
– tools and techniques that
can be used to assist in
combining planning,
design, construction and
management of a product.
20. A Vision of Manufacturing
Systems (cont.)
• INTEGRATED ENGINEERING
– planning, designing, construction and management of a
product.
22. IE450 Focus
• IE450 is intended to cover all of the
engineering and business activities.
• All will be discussed.
• Lean Manufacturing will be the
concentration.
