Principles of Manufacturing

Instructor Randy Pearson E-mail rkpearson@jmcss.org 731-410-6475

Course Description:
This course will focus on the essential principles that must be mastered for a person to be effective in
manufacturing production work. The course is intended for students more interested in production than
engineering. The course covers customers, quality principles and processes, systems, information in the
workplace, the business of manufacturing, and statistical process control. The course is contextual by
design. It connects what is being learned to the learners current experience, past knowledge, and future
conduct. Wherever possible, real-world or simulation hands-on experiences become the context in which
instruction is delivered.

Objectives:
1.0 Students will analyze the components of a manufacturing system.
2.0 Students will adapt processes to meet customer needs using quality principles.
3.0 Students will access, test, record, organize and evaluate information typical of a
manufacturing workplace.

organizations.

success in the school, community, and workplace.
8.0 Students will perform safety examinations and maintain safety records.

Resources:
Students use multimedia and print-based curriculum.
All tests are taken on computers, and students get instant feedback on test results.
Students have access to grades at all times in class.

Class Polices:
Good English and good manners are used at all times. Respect the privacy of others. Be in your
seat when the bell rings. Do not do anything that will keep me from teaching and others from
learning.
Make-up work due to absence is your responsibility. Arrange to come promptly and take missed
tests or expect a zero. Next day make-up is preferred; longer than five school days is not
allowed.
Cheating in any form constitutes an ethical infraction of the most serious nature. It will be
punished by an automatic zero, with no make-up allowed. Please do not violate the trust I put in
each of you to be honest and do your best.
No one can make you behave if you are bound and determined not to, but things are much more
pleasant when you do.

Helpful Hints:
Be in class every day and be on time.
You do not have to like everyone, but you must get along with them.
Do not be afraid to ask for help.
