CHEME 5770
Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025. Courses of Study 2024-2025 is scheduled to publish mid-June.
Introduces essential process engineering and lean tools used by leading companies to improve the design and performance of new and existing processes. Clearly defined problem statements with stakeholders, targeted data analysis, and effective implementation of solutions will be discussed. The following tools and principles, with a Lean philosophy overlay, will be covered: process mapping, data collection and analysis, standard operating setpoints, audits, training, change control, experiment planning, materials and tooling control, measurement and calibration systems, maintenance management, gap analysis, cycle time content and balance, lead-time assessment and management, quality performance analysis and remediation, sustainable control measures, demand/takt time analysis and relation to demonstrated equipment/process capacity, and process stability assessment. Six sigma tools will also be introduced. Effective use of these tools enables engineers to drive towards consistent process capability and improved cycle time, quality, lead time, and cost.
When Offered Fall.
Permission Note Open to: ChemE Seniors, M. Eng. and MS Engineering.
Outcomes
- Apply fundamental process performance assessment principles such as constraint analysis and apply consistent, data driven thinking related to process/business improvement.
- Apply core lean and process engineering tools, terminology, and principles to modern day manufacturing.
- Apply and demonstrate the practical principles around process problem solving and optimization.
- Using relevant process data, identify and remediate process constraints and install key performance indicators (KPIs) for sustainability.
