INT 144: FAME Manufacturing Core Exercise 3, Lean Manufacturing

Class Program
Industrial Maintenance Technology
Credits 1 Lecture Hours 1 Lab Hours 0
Transfer Code
Code C

This course introduces the Federation of Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) MCE-3 (Manufacturing Core Exercise) for Lean Manufacturing.  Students will be introduced to a systematic method for waste minimization (AKA:  Muda) within a manufacturing system, without sacrificing productivity.  Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden (AKA:  Muri) and waste created through unevenness in workloads (AKA: Mura).  The Lean management philosophy will be clearly defined and explained with experiential exercises, reinforcing the following concepts:

  1. The value-added product
  2. The maintenance value-added product
  3. Value-added work and necessary work
  4. How this leads to increased profit
  5. Workload unevenness (Mura)
  6. Waste created through overburden (Muri)
  7. The seven areas of non-value-added waste (Muda): conveyance, correction, motion, over-production, over-processing, waiting and inventory

INT 148: FAME Manufacturing Core Exercise 5, Machine Reliability

Class Program
Industrial Maintenance Technology
Credits 1 Lecture Hours 1 Lab Hours 0
Transfer Code
Code C

This course introduces the Federation of Advanced Manufacturing Education (FAME) MCE-5 (Manufacturing Core Exercise) for machine reliability.  Students will learn how to use the process of Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) to drive for zero downtime and reach for maximum Heijunka.  Students will be given an in depth understanding of Heijunka (Japanese for “leveling”), as a process that maintains a balanced relationship between predictability by leveling demand, flexibility by decreasing changeover time and stability by averaging production volume and type, over the long-term. The RCM process will be clearly defined with experiential exercises reinforcing comprehension and application of the following core questions:

  1. What are the functions of the equipment?
  2. How does it fail?
  3. What causes it to fail?
  4. Does it matter if it fails?
  5. What can be done to predict or prevent each failure?
  6. What if the failure cannot be prevented?
