    6.    Layout construction techniques.
    7.    evaluation techniques.
    8.    Material flow analysis techniques.
    9.    CAD as a facilities design tool.
    10.   Computerized layout planning.
    11.   Configuring the production and service facilities.

III.  COURSE TOPICS
     1.   Facilities design procedure and planning strategies.
     2.   Facilities design computer aided drafting.
     3.   Production, physical administration and personnel services
           design considerations.
     4.   Material flow patterns and analysis techniques.
     5.   Material handling systems and equipment.

     7.   Layout construction techniques.
     8.   Assessing and evaluating layouts.
     9.   Implementing layouts.
     10.  Flexible, custom, continuous, intermittent, and job lot
           production methods layout considerations.
     11.  Machine, labor, inventory, and equipment loading
           calculating.

IV.  TEACHING METHODS, PROCEDURES AND/OR TECHNIQUES
    Small and large group discussions, lectures, and demonstrations
    will provide a basis for students working individually or in small
    groups to solve design problems and complete calculations.

VI.  ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO MEET THE COURSE OBJECTIVES
    All students will be required to produce and/or participate in the
    following:

    1.  PROJECTS

        A.  Work area layout design.  Sketch of a design is required.
        B.  Work area layout CAD design. CAD floor plan design is
            required.
        C.  Assembly chart development and design. One manually
            drafted assembly chart is required.
        D.  Machine load and numeric calculations assignment.           
            Numerous problems presented in chart format are required
        E.  Machine assignment and labor numeric calculations.
            Numerous problem solutions presented in chart
            form are required.
        F.  Parking lot design and development. CAD plot plan design
             is required.

    NOTE:  If a project is turned in after its due date, it will be
corrected and one letter grade will be deducted from its initial score for each
day beyond the original due date.

    2.  COURSE EXAMS

        Two exams will be administered.  No makeup exams will be
        given.  If an exam is taken after the exam date, it will be
        corrected and one letter grade will be deducted from the exam
        score for each day beyond the original testing date.

    3.  TERM DESIGN PROJECT

        A word-processed report, numeric solutions in chart format
        (raw material storage, labor loads, machine loads, and work
        cell area calculations), oral and visual class presentation,
        and drawn plan of a manufacturing facility are required.

VII.  GRADING PROCEDURES

EXAMS - 50% of the course grade
        Two exam grades are averaged to produce a course exam grade.

PROJECTS - 50% of the course grade

             A.  Projects (7 or 8)  - 30% of the PROJECT grade.

             B.  One term design project - 70% of the PROJECT grade.
                   All projects (A & B) are properly weighted and
                   averaged to obtain a course PROJECT grade.

COURSE GRADE  

             A.  Total attendance is necessary to obtain lecture, project and test
                   materials needed to complete all assignments.

             B.  In order to receive a passing grade in the course,
                   each student must achieve a passing grade in each
                   course assignment.
