Introduction to Manufacturing and Service Systems Design (IENG490)
The course aims to prepare the senior year students for their Manufacturing and Service Systems Design Project course (IENG492). The students are first introduced to the type of the manufacturing or service system that they are going to design as the requirement of IENG492 during the next academic semester. Then they are asked to conduct a market survey, submit information on the types of products/services they are going to produce, amount of sales, prices, competing producers, processes required to producing and distributing them, and relevant standards/laws/rules and regulations available in the place where the system will be established. Additionally, students are required to design the products/services, make forecasting for their sales, and prepare a feasibility study of the system.
