Applying Modern Manufacturing Processes to Engineering Prototypes

Clint McCann, PE

This course examines modern production and operations management tools and compares them to the processes required to produce engineering prototypes. The goal is to identify which of these tools are best suited for use in improving the prototype assembly process. Corporations have invested heavily in modernizing their manufacturing operations to achieve world-class performance. While traveling along the road to excellence, they have amassed a wide array of tools and techniques for squeezing every bit of value from their operations. Much has been written in recent years about how companies can maximize their manufacturing capabilities, yet the early engineering prototype stage of the product lifecycle has gone largely unattended. The purpose of this course is to compare prototype development and production with modern production and operations management to determine if tools that have become so commonplace in factories around the world can be successfully applied to the earlier stages of a product’s life.

At the conclusion of this course students will find a multiple-choice exam designed to reinforce the understanding of the course materials.
