College of Applied Science and Technology 133 MFET 4200 - Manufacturing Processes Credits: (2) Typically taught: Evening classes only. Manufacturing processes define the methods that companies use in designing, producing, and delivering goods and services required by customers. The manufacturing processes provide the execution component to the other activities of the integrated manufacturing system. Beginning with customer requirements and needs, they design, build, operate, upgrade, and maintain a manufacturing process which is most supportive of and consistent with those needs and requirements. To achieve these objectives, manufacturing processes draw on three different but very interrelated subsystems: industrial facilities management, process design and development, and manufacturing. (APICS Series) MFET 4210 - Cost Estimating and Engineering Economics Credits: (2) Production cost structure, operation costing, breakeven analysis, make buy decision, and capital equipment justification. Computer aids are used to analyze cost data. Three lectures per week. Prerequisite: MATH 1080 ; NTM 1700 . Co-Requisite: MFET 4610 . MFET 4250 - Detailed Scheduling and Planning Credits: (2) Typically taught: Evening classes only. Detailed explanation of inventory management including order review methodologies, policies and functions of inventory. Covers material requirements planning (MRP) and other material planning and capacity requirements planning techniques. Includes concepts, principles, interfaces, desired characteristics, applications, and supplier relations. Prerequisite: MFET 3510 or equivalent. (APICS Series) MFET 4300 - Design of Experiments Credits: (2) A step-by-step description of procedures used to organize, conduct and evaluate industrial experiments. Emphasizes the usefulness of results and the decision criteria for choosing the proper design. Prerequisite: MFET 2410 MFET 4310 - Corrosion and Corrosion Control Credits: (2) Typically taught: Spring [Full Sem] Analysis of corrosion mechanisms for ferrous metals, nonferrous metals, and nonmetallic materials, as well as the control of corrosion.
