ADM-205 Foundations in Advanced Manufacturing - Production
This course is designed to serve those interested in entering the workforce for advanced manufacturing, incumbent workers of local companies, secondary HS seniors for technical skills development and apprentices in the local area that are required to gain related instruction for their DOL Occupation. The content of this course prepares students to safely step into a production based workplace and enter into additional coursework for advanced manufacturing. The content for manufacturing processes and production includes: identifying customer needs, determining resources available for the production process, setting up equipment for the production processes, setting up team production goals, make job assignments, coordinate work flow with team members and other work groups, communication production and material requirements and product specifications, document product and process compliance with customer requirements and prepare final product for shipping and distribution.
Course Learning Outcomes
- Execute the use of hand tools, machine operation, machine tooling, mechanical linkages of machine operation and procedures for each piece of equipment.
- Demonstrate standard operating procedures based on industry standards, technical manuals, and maintenance manuals.
- Identify ways to increase production efficiencies by applying the following manufacturing concepts: bottlenecks, balance of workflow, Lean Manufacturing, cost estimating, production data and metrics.
- Apply mechanical principles to different manufacturing materials and machines, as well as the concepts in production control including the operation of push pull production systems, just-in-time production and methods of feedback to control quality.
