Course Description: The course introduces a process
approach to engineering design, manufacturing, and service applications.
Models, modeling tools, solution approaches, and methodologies for
analysis and improvement of processes, including the product development
and manufacturing process are discussed. The science of process modeling
and analysis is illustrated with case studies.
Course Objectives: Learn principles of process
modeling, process modeling methodologies, and modeling software; Study
methodologies and algorithms for reengineering integrated process models;
Analyze reliability of process models; Analyze quality of process
analysis; Study relationships between design and manufacturing; Learn
principles of modern software tools; Applying the algorithms and tools
studied in the course to an industrial or a business application
