| Topics | |
| Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) Provides instruction on reducing new product design and prototyping versions by using GD&T on engineering drawings and three-dimensional solid models. Using GD&T ensures the components will match and operate as the design intends. Engineering Math An expanded shop math class that focuses on using math knowledge in application to solve engineering challenges. The use of simple trigonometry principles in the machine shop as well as the use of math skills in a QC/QA environment are addressed. Simple equation manipulation is also covered, as well as the calculations of volumes, areas, and many other applied uses. This course is designed for anyone, regardless of their math background. Lean Manufacturing and Value Stream Mapping Basics Through a mix of classroom and live simulation, participants will learn to reduce cycle time, improve on-time shipments and reduce WIP up to 90%, improve quality up to 50% and reduce floor space up to 75%. By the end of the session, participants will have transformed a traditional manufacturing or office environment into one focused on Lean concepts. In the Value Stream Mapping segment, teams create a map of their current state and use Lean and Six Sigma concepts to identify areas where manufacturing or office performance can be improved. Material Selection and Blueprint Reading An introductory course that covers manufacturing processes, material properties and mechanical drawing interpretation. Students will learn the relationship between mechanical stress and strain, general material behavior, processes such as casting, plastic injection molding, blow molding, machining, forging and others. This course will also provide an overview of mechanical drawing, proper dimensioning and use of special symbols of machine parts. |
