Course Description
The main goal of any manufacturing organization is the creation
of wealth. In an effort to predict, control
and extract the maximum amount of efficiencies in these
organizations flexible, and cost effective manufacturing systems
are required. Modern day manufacturing systems are highly
intertwined with social, economic

and political systems. This class aims to introduce students to
these systems and then explain in detail how manufacturing
systems cope in a volatile and global market place.
Course Objectives
1.
Be able to explain the
historical
underpinnings of modern day
production/manufacturing systems
2.
Be able to s
olve
aggregate planning problems
3.
Be able to solve problems associated with control and planning
issues using deterministic or stochastic modeling
4.
Demonstrate operation scheduling methods
in a multi-product manufacturing system
Prerequisites
This course assumes a familiarity with
linear equations (which should be covered in MET 215), basic
statistics,
and rates
of change
over
time.

Presentation of Assignments
When submitting assignments it is advised that all papers be
stapled together. Not doing so will attract a 20% deduction of
points for that particular assignment. All projects are expected
to be presented in a logical and reader friendly fashion i.e. with
a table of contents. Not doing so will attract a 10% deduction of
points on your projects.
LATE ASSIGNMENTS WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Academic Integrity
It should be clear that copying even one sentence or unique
sentence fragment without properly quoting and citing is
plagiarism. Likewise, cutting and pasting various sentence
fragments from various authors to form a paragraph is also
plagiarism unless each fragment is quoted and cited. To
clearly
not
be plagiarism, the paragraph would have to be comprised of
original thoughts and words (words that might paraphrase
other’s work, but that work would have to be cited as
necessary).
Legal issues such as
fair use
and other copyright issues overlap with academic integrity
issues but are not the same. A person could cite and quote
correctly, thereby not committing plagiarism, but violate
copyright laws because the person used work without
permission or too much of it was used. See the file at the course
site Course Documents area for more discussion of intellectual

property issues.
Academic integrity is much more than not plagiarizing.
Academic integrity also encompasses cheating, excessive
collaboration, and other issues. Most importantly, academic
integrity should not be viewed as a list of prohibitions but a
rather as a proper mind set to do
one’s own work
and
give credit to others
as appropriate. To this end, academic integrity encompasses
how much work you use of another (similar to
fair use
laws). Many universities and associations believe that using
more than 5-10% of other’s work in your document (even if
quoted and cited correctly) is too much; that you haven’t done
enough original work. ISU subscribes to
Turnitin
which checks how much of your work is original. This is not
just used to check for plagiarism but also for originality.
Turnitin
will be used in this course.
All ISU policies and professional ethics regarding academic
integrity apply to this course. Any willful violations will result
in a failing grade and referral to the Office of Student Affairs
which can result in expulsion from the University. Everyone is
highly encouraged to learn more about ISU’s Academic
Dishonesty policy found in the Code of Student Conduct.
Classroom Conduct
Students at Indiana State University are expected to accept
certain personal responsibilities that constitute the "standard"
for behavior in a community of scholars.

As a student at Indiana State University:
I will practice personal and academic integrity; I will commit
my energies to the pursuit of truth, learning, and scholarship; I
will foster an environment conducive to the personal and
academic accomplishment of all students; I will avoid activities
that promote bigotry or intolerance; I will choose associations
and define my relationships with others based on respect for
individual rights and human dignity; I will conduct my life as a
student in a manner that brings honor to me and to the
University Community; I will discourage actions or behaviors
by others that are contrary to these standards.
(
Adopted by the Indiana State University Student Govern
ment Association April 17, 2002)
Furthermore the follow nondescript rules should also be
followed:
1.
All cell phones should be turned off during class time
2.
Talking during a lecture is perceived by me to be a blatant form
of disrespect. Please avoid doing so while class is in session
3.
During class sessions that are designated to be class discussions
respect and tolerance for a differing opinion is expected.
4.
Being to class late three times during the semester will attract a
3 point reduction from the class participation/attendance section
of this course. For more
that
3 late occurrences each late occurrence will attract a 3 point
deduction until there is no more participation or attendance
points.
5.

Upholding the good name
Indiana State University
requires good behavior on your part. When on class plant tours
your best behavior is expected.
