ENGN1211 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Industrial Engineering, Process Design, Human Factors And Ergonomics
Mars 2
Project engineering
• Project management
• How to spend the money to make factories, put together a timeline, in charge of
safety
• In charge of the contractors work
• Go through every step of the job to ensure its completed safely
• Tender process
◦ Process design (materials, rates formats), R and Q(request for quotation)
send out to manufacturers so they know what you want, incorporate
mars ethical design
◦ Engage vendors- project timeline, tender process, questions, modifications
◦ Review phase- ensure ‘applies to applies’ companion, review ergonomics
with operation- ease of use
◦ Machine one: cost- high, operate knowledge- high, layout options: good,
support (if anything went wrong): high
◦ Interfacing equipment- how to put it together
Industrial engineering
• Looks at factories in its entireties
• Network strategies
• How to make money
• Switch source strategy- have to hire and train new people, ramp up production can
take time, import restrictions
• 4 shift factory in Australia- cant do maintenance on weekend,
• New factory in Thailand- long time, learning curve, big cost, need to source
managers from elsewhere
• Invest in increased capacity- a third bar line could increase capacity by 50%, need
to think about supporting infrastructure
• Conclusion: Australia to India, Australia to au and NZ, look into new factory in
Thailand, china factories 3 shift to 4 shift
Wrap up- FMCG is the largest manufacturing sector in Australia, large investment
and exports, an attractive career path
