Eval. Prerequisite: MFET 3510 or equivalent. (APICS Series). Evening classes only. MFET 4200. Manufacturing Processes (2) 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) Evening classes only. MFET 4210.
