Course description and aims
This course focuses on a discipline recognized as Industrial Engineering(IE), and provides knowledge and basic skills about the followings: Work standard, standard time, work study and production systems analysis methods .
Students will gain knowledges and skills about the advanced work study/task analysis methodologies suited to modern industrial contexts.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Explain the typical methods/thinking processes used in traditional and modern IE.
2. Apply the methods/thinking processes to solve probems in industrial contexts.
Keywords
Scientific management, standard, time study, work study, PTS, learning, task analysis
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
At the beginning of each class, knowledge and basic skills related to the topics are taught. Towards the end of class, students are given experimental tasks/exercise problems related to the lecture given that day. Attendance is taken in every class.This course is held over two academic quarters. The class meets once a week.
