Operations Management and Capstone I requires student teams to use knowledge from previous technical and business courses to develop a manufacturing operations plan for a product. This includes production planning and control, resource planning, product cost considerations. Students will experience current concepts of the new product development process. Emphasis will be placed on team work, project management, computerized production documentation, lean manufacturing, integration and optimization of business technical functions, operations within a manufacturing enterprise, Quality assurance planning and six sigma, product design and development. Lab activities include prototype and engineering builds of the product designed by the student teams. This is the first of the Capstone I and II series, which has to be taken in consecutive semesters.
