Manufacturing Systems: Modelling, Analysis and Performance Measures

Graduate

This course is specifically oriented toward performance issues that arise in Automated Manufacturing Systems (AMS). The main goal of this course is to introduce efficient analytical modeling tools. Examples related to serial manufacturing systems, and Flexible Manufacturing Systems will be presented to illustrate the theory and applications of these modeling tools. The reliability and maintainability techniques are also presented and integrated in the design, the analysis and the modeling of AMS. (Prerequisites: INDE-3120.) (3 lecture hours per week.)
