Course description and aims

This course focuses on a discipline recognized as Industrial Engineering (IE), which covers F. W. Taylor's Scientific Management and "Modern IE as Work Analysis for Various Applications," and provides knowledge and basic skills about the theory, methodology, and technique.
Students will gain knowledge and skills in the following three application domains: (1)Human work analysis and design (traditional IE), (2)Design and analysis of production system, and (3) Advanced work analysis for various domains (modern IE)

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.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend a certain length of time outside of class on preparation and review (including for assignments), as specified by the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Undergraduate Learning (東京工業大学学修規程) and the Tokyo Institute of Technology Rules on Graduate Learning (東京工業大学大学院学修規程), for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Textbook(s)

None required.

Reference books, course materials, etc.

Akiba, Masao. Industrial Engineering (Indasutoriaru enjiniaringu), Tokyo: Nikka-Giren, (Japanese)
Instruction manuals and course materials are provided during class.

Assessment criteria and methods

Students' knowledge of topics in the lecture, and their ability to apply them to exercise/experiment will be assessed. Short quiz 40%, reports 60%.
Full attendance and completion of all experiments are compulsory.
