Manufacturing Engineering (396541) MAP Sheet Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering for Students Entering the Degree Program During the 2021-2022 Curricular Year BS in Manufacturing Engineering (396541) MAP Sheet Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering For students entering the degree program during the 2021-2022 curricular year. Students are taught how to be leaders in the manufacturing industry. A large majority of graduates are offered management positions within 5 years of graduation, and these managers are best prepared by a combination of a technology background in manufacturing and a solid business education. This double emphasis is inherent in the manufacturing engineering technology program. Manufacturing graduates receive an accredited, professional, four-year BS degree in Engineering and can opt to take the classes required for a minor in Business.

  • Maximizing Manufacturing Margins with Value Engineering Balancing Cost Reduction, Process Improvement, and Product Value
    Maximizing Manufacturing Margins with Value Engineering Balancing Cost Reduction, Process Improvement, and Product Value Manufacturers large and small all hope to achieve the same thing: manufacture more products, with higher margins. Of course, in order to build a lasting business, you need to keep customers satisfied, meaning the quality of products must remain high when you make moves to reduce costs. The best way to reduce costs and improve processes without diminishing the quality of your product is through a process called Value Engineering. Value Engineering is a process used by companies across the globe to ensure product functionality is maximized while costs are minimized. By incorporating Value Engineering into your product development process, you’ll reduce costs, increase margins, and establish a smarter way to determine which new products justify the investment to bring them to market. FortéOne has been helping middle market companies conduct a value analysis and implement Value Engineering in their organizations for 20 years. By leveraging the experience of our people, who have installed Value Engineering in companies across many industries, we have developed a four-step process for incorporating Value Engineering into middle market organizations that avoids the most common challenges companies face during its implementation. Explained below are the lessons we have learned. What is Value Engineering? Value Engineering starts with product value. Product value is the ratio of product function to product cost (including the purchase of raw materials and packaging, logistics and shipping costs, overhead and manpower, and line efficiency). Product function is the work a product is designed to perform.

  • Manufacturing Activities During the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency
    INTERIM GUIDANCE FOR MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES DURING THE COVID-19 PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY When you have read this document, you can affirm at the bottom. As of June 26, 2020 Purpose This Interim Guidance for Manufacturing Activities during the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (“Interim COVID-19 Guidance for Manufacturing”) was created to provide owners/operators of manufacturing sites and their employees and contractors with precautions to help protect against the spread of COVID-19 as manufacturing sites reopen. These guidelines are minimum requirements only and any employer is free to provide additional precautions or increased restrictions. These guidelines are based on the best-known public health practices at the time of Phase I of the State’s reopening, and the documentation upon which these guidelines are based can and does change frequently. The Responsible Parties – as defined below – are accountable for adhering to all local, state and federal requirements relative to manufacturing activities. The Responsible Parties are also accountable for staying current with any updates to these requirements, as well as incorporating same into any manufacturing activities and/or Site Safety Plan. Background On March 7, 2020, Governor Andrew M. Cuomo issued Executive Order 202, declaring a state of emergency in response to COVID-19. Community transmission of COVID-19 has occurred throughout New York. To minimize further spread, social distancing of at least six feet must be maintained between individuals, where possible. On March 20, 2020, Governor Cuomo issued Executive Order 202.6, directing all non-essential businesses to close in-office personnel functions. Essential businesses, as defined by Empire State Development Corporation (ESD) guidance, were not subject to the in-person restriction, but were, however, directed to comply with the guidance and directives for maintaining a clean and safe work environment issued by the New York State Department of Health (DOH), and were strongly urged to maintain social distancing measures to the extent possible.

The footwear industry had the largest productivity gain with an increase of 14.5 percent. (See chart 1.) Three out of the four industries in the mining sector posted productivity declines in 2020, with the greatest decline occurring in the metal ore mining industry with a decrease of 6.7 percent. Although more mining and manufacturing industries recorded productivity gains in 2020 than 2019, declines in both output and hours worked were widespread. Output fell in over 90 percent of detailed industries in 2020 and 87 percent had declines in hours worked. Seventy-two industries had declines in both output and hours worked in 2020. This was the greatest number of such industries since 2009. Within this set of industries, 35 had increasing labor productivity. Chart 1.

  • The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960S Promotional Featurettes
    The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960s Promotional Featurettes by DANIEL STEINHART Abstract: Before making-of documentaries became a regular part of home-video special features, 1960s promotional featurettes brought the public a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s production process. Based on historical evidence, this article explores the changes in Hollywood promotions when studios broadcasted these featurettes on television to market theatrical films and contracted out promotional campaigns to boutique advertising agencies. The making-of form matured in the 1960s as featurettes helped solidify some enduring conventions about the portrayal of filmmaking. Ultimately, featurettes serve as important paratexts for understanding how Hollywood’s global production work was promoted during a time of industry transition. aking-of documentaries have long made Hollywood’s flm production pro- cess visible to the public. Before becoming a staple of DVD and Blu-ray spe- M cial features, early forms of making-ofs gave audiences a view of the inner workings of Hollywood flmmaking and movie companies. Shortly after its formation, 20th Century-Fox produced in 1936 a flmed studio tour that exhibited the company’s diferent departments on the studio lot, a key feature of Hollywood’s detailed division of labor. Even as studio-tour short subjects became less common because of the restructuring of studio operations after the 1948 antitrust Paramount Case, long-form trailers still conveyed behind-the-scenes information. In a trailer for The Ten Commandments (1956), director Cecil B. DeMille speaks from a library set and discusses the importance of foreign location shooting, recounting how he shot the flm in the actual Egyptian locales where Moses once walked (see Figure 1).

Shon Emsi and Young MIT Sloan School of Management Abstract At the turn of the century, Frederick Taylor revolutionized the design and improvement of work with his ideas on work organization, task decomposition and job measurement. Taylor's basic aim was to increase organizational productivity by applying to human labor the same engineering principles that had proven so successful in solving technical problems in the workplace. The same approaches that had transformed mechanical activity could also be used to structure jobs performed by people. Taylor, rising from worker to chief engineer at Midvale Iron Works, came to symbolize the ideas and practical realizations in industry that we now call industrial engineering (EE), or the scientific school of management^ In fact, though work design remains a contemporary IE concern, no subsequent concept or tool has rivaled the power of Taylor's mechanizing vision.
