D
 MasterCAM – name plate design
A, F
 Presentation from a lean project and a senior capstone project
F, G
LABORATORIES
 6 weeks are used to teach students the basic elements of Flexsim. Students work in
teams to develop a Flexsim simulation of a fairly simple process. This requires
significant direct observation, some statistical analysis of the data collected,
development of a simulation model, and conversion of the model to Flexsim. Simple
animation is also required so the audience can Asee@ the process in operation.
