Course description:
Design of lean
manufacturing systems requires knowledge and skills for describing manual
work, identifying value and non-value added work elements, designing
efficient work spaces and methods, preventing work-related musculoskeletal
disorders and predicting work performance. The course will include several
in-class laboratory exercises and one or more field trips. This course
serves Industrial and Operations Engineers concerned with manufacturing,
logistics, management, safety and health. It also should be useful to
Biomedical Engineers concerned with the design of health care procedures
and equipment and to Mechanical Engineers concerned with manufacturing
systems and equipment use.
Lectures Topics:
- Describing the human-machine system
- Work methods analysis
- Motion economy and ergonomic enhancements
- Time study, performance ratings, and allowances
- Work-related musculoskeletal disorders
- Work sampling
- Pre-determined time systems
- Standard Data
- Design of work equipment and methods
- Computer tools
- Applications to lean manufacturing
- Work space and equipment design
