SE4520 System Manufacturing Development and Production
This course covers the concepts and problems underlying the design and operation of contemporary production systems. The course provides an understanding of the relationship between traditional manufacturing management and systems engineering activities. Topics covered include the basics of production/manufacturing system design, planning, and implementation activities that complement the concurrent systems engineering and logistics support system design activities that take place on typical large-scale Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition programs (e.g. ships, aircraft, ground vehicles, etc.). This includes the design/build/test and implementation of hardware/software/people configurations used for production/manufacturing within the various DoD Acquisition Life Cycle chart phases. The alignment of basic systems engineering technical and technical management processes with traditional production system design and management processes will also be covered.
