Summary of Accomplishments and Activities:

Results of a NSF project in Integrated Production Management (IPM) (DMI-9300568) were translated from a research level to an implementation domain for the undergraduate portion of the CIMED project. An integrated software domain was developed that relates various shop floor activities, such as process planning, facility design, production planning and control and the various underlying methodologies, such as mathematical programming, simulation and queueing. This software was specifically designed to integrate eight courses within the current IE curriculum at OU. Modules were developed specifically for each class. Each course module was designed so that it could be shared with all universities. OSU, Kansas State University and Wichita State Univ. have considered the software for use in their classes.

As part of the OSU effort, three new graduate level courses were developed. They are Manufacturing Enterprise Integration, Manufacturing Enterprise Modeling, and Simulation and Optimization for On-line, Real-Time Manufacturing Systems Management. These three courses have also been offered at OU through compressed video from OSU. Dr. Pratt was the instructor for the first course, and Dr. Kamath was the instructor for the latter two.

Various modules of the Manufacturing Enterprise Integration course have been integrated into a new MS program in engineering and technology management at OSU. Dr. Kamath has taught the Manufacturing Enterprise Modeling course five times (1997, 1999, 2000, 2002, and 2004). The topics covered in this course include data, process and object modeling techniques, IDEF, Petri nets, CIMOSA, integrated enterprise modeling (IEM), and TOVE. This course is part of a new “Enterprise Modeling” thrust area in the MS degree program in Industrial Engineering at OSU.
