Overall Educational Objective To learn basics of manufacturing processes and analyze scheduling tasks.
Course Description The course aims to give students the fundamentals of discrete manufacturing systems used in metal-cutting, automotive, and auto-parts industries. The student will be able to justify the application of automated systems, code basic computer numerical control (CNC) programs for machine tool, select appropriate industrial robots, and analyze transportation & storage systems for flexible manufacturing settings. Group Technology-based manufacturing cell design, Flow & Job Shop scheduling applications, Lean Manufacturing and just-in-time methods will be analyzed, as well as main production strategies such as Lean Manufacturing, Just-in-Time, and their integration with the manufacturing resources and enterprise planning (MRP, MRP II, ERP).
Course Description in Turkish Bu dersin amacı, öğrencilere metal kesim, otomotiv ve otomobil parçaları endüstrilerinde kullanılan ayrık üretim sistemlerinin temelini vermektir. Öğrenciler, otomasyon sistemleri, takım tezgahları için kod bazlı bilgisayarlı sayısal kontrol (CNC) programları uygulamaları yapabilecek, uygun endüstriyel robotları seçebilecek ve esnek üretim ortamları için taşıma ve depolama sistemlerini analiz edebileceklerdir. Grup teknolojisine dayanan üretim hücresi tasarımı, Akış&Atölye Tipi çizelgeleme uygulamaları, temel üretim stratejilerinden Yalın üretim ve tam zamanında üretim metotları incelenecek ve bunların üretim kaynakları planlaması ve kurumsal kaynak planlamas (MRP, MRP II, ERP) ile entegrasyonu analiz edilecektir.

Course Learning Outcomes and Competences

Upon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:
1) Analyze the fundamentals of discrete manufacturing systems in metal-cutting, automotive, and auto-parts industries. Classify main manufacturing systems by their automation and flexibility level, as well as identify and justify their applications.
2) Analyze industrial manipulators’ degrees of freedom and their kinematics. Relate main manipulator configurations, select proper robot manipulators depending on specific industrial applications, and evaluate their economical justification.
3) Identify main machine tool configurations, select machining parameters, and code basic Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programs for milling and turning operations.
4) Analyze Flexible Manufacturing Cell and Systems configurations based on the principles of Group Technology and Process Planning. Analyze the operation principles of typical configurations of transportation, storage, and conveyor units, as well as analyze typical Flow Shop and Job Shop scheduling problems in manufacturing.
5) Analyze the significance and the operation principles of Lean Manufacturing.
6) Analyze the significance and the operation principles of Just-in-Time.
7) Analyze the overall integration of the manufacturing floor with the enterprise, from the materials requirement planning (MRP), the manufacturing resource planning (MRP II), and to the enterprise resource planning (ERP).
