Facilities and Material Handling Systems Design
|
I&ME 442 is a
three-credit course which covers Industrial Engineering
concepts and
tools related to facility layout, material handling systems, and
facility
location. Students learn:
systematic procedures for facilities planning and
the corresponding design
steps,
how to analyze complex
process flows using engineering design tools,
about different
types of facility layout problems and how to apply existing approaches
to generate
alternative solutions,
design and
evaluate practical layout alternatives,
the
principle of unit load as applied to facility layout design,
material handling systems for different applications, and
popular
computer tools related to the above topics.
A significant component of the course is to participate in the
CICMHE Design Competition. Over
the years, MSU teams have won the
national competition!
Students do much of their course work in the Billie
O. Ragsdale Production Systems Design Laboratory on the 4th
floor of Roberts Hall.
