Math for Manufacturing <br />This course provides instruction and review of basic mathematics typically used in the manufacturing and <br />shop workplace, including performing calculations with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and percentages. <br />It also covers English and metric measurements and converting measurements from one system to another. <br />Participant will review and practice math skills using hands-on activities and examples from the manufacturing <br />workplace. <br />Objectives: <br />- Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers. <br />- Interpret and perform calculations with exponents, fractions, decimals, and percentages. <br />- Apply the correct order of operations for calculations including a combination of operations. <br />- Calculate basic statistics from a set of data. <br />- Calculate perimeter, area, and volume of several geometric shapes. <br />- Recognize English and metric measurements and convert measurements from one system to another.. <br />- Apply these skills appropriately to work related tasks. <br />Intended audience: manufacturing and shop personnel whose jobs require them to perform mathematical <br />calculations; personnel desiring a refresher in basic math. <br />Lean Airplane - Lego <br />In this half -day workshop, you'll learn the basic principles of lean manufacturing and how to apply them <br />through an activity that involves a fast -paced simulated production line. You'll also learn about the eight <br />wastes and lean techniques including 5S, standardized work, batch -size reduction, and visual signals. By the <br />end of this day, the benefits of lean will be clearly apparent! <br />Objectives: <br />- Define "lean" as it relates to manufacturing. <br />- List and describe the eight wastes. <br />- Describe standardized work, 5S, visual controls, plant layout, quick changeover, batch reduction, point of <br />use storage, pull/Kanban, cellular flow, and total productive maintenance and how they fit into <br />lean manufacturing. <br />- Describe the benefits of lean manufacturing. <br />Intended audience: manufacturing personnel, including technicians, engineers, and managers. <br />Purdue MEP Center mep.purdue.edu 800-877-5182 Project #18871 Page 9 <br />
