Announcements: A web site for this course will be maintained on the TAMCAM web server (http://tamcam.tamu.edu/) (Choose ‘courses’ from the top, banner menu and then ‘undergraduate’ and ‘inen 416’ from the left side). This site will contain announcements and other information concerning the course. In addition, it will be used to distribute homework assignments, class notes, or other material as required during the course. Please check the web site daily — any information posted on it will be as valid as if it were mentioned in class.
Course Objective: To develop an understanding of the principles of facilities location, layout, and material handling systems and to practice designing facilities. The course will emphasize modeling, design, and analysis techniques. It will try to provide a balance of exposure to available methodologies in facilities location, layout, and material handling with a practical emphasis on issues that are difficult to capture in quantitative models but are important to consider. The course has the following educational objectives for students:
· Learn formulations, models, and analytical procedures for the study of facilities layout planning
· Learn fundamental principles of material handling
· Be able to design a factory layout incorporating product, process, and personnel requirements
· Improve presentation and team work skills
ABET Outcomes: As
a design course that encompasses skills from many of your prior courses, this
course addresses many of the ABET student outcomes defined for our program. In particular, INEN 416 specially addresses
outcomes A, C, D, E, G, I, and K as defined in the INEN ABET materials (http://ise.tamu.edu/general/Outcomes_Summary.htm).

Homework
and project assignments will be collected at the beginning of the class period
in which they are due. No late
assignments will be accepted.
Notes: Attendance at the lab sessions is
required. You will be working as part of
a team on a design project. The lab time
is mostly for your team to work together on your project. Therefore, you must attend the lab sessions
in order to contribute to your team’s activities. Attendance will be checked and included as
part of your project grade. Please refer
to latest Texas A&M
