1. COURSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Over a period of two terms, the Industrial Engineering Design course sequence
(IE 401/405 - IE 402/406) is intended to provide problem analysis and system design
experience. The major goal is to allow the students to apply the tools and techniques of
industrial engineering to identify, analyze, and design a solution to an industrial problem
that would satisfy a client in either a manufacturing or a service environment.

The course will help students understand as well as implement the various steps of the
design process by making use of tools appropriate for each step. In addition, students will
improve their skills in project and time management, teamwork, and oral and written
presentation through working with a team of colleagues (advisors, client company and
student teams). The students will have a chance to cope with the complexity of a real-life
system and understand the codes of professional behavior by going through an entire
design process in the industry.

2. COURSE CONTENT

During the IE 401/405 - IE 402/406 design courses, the students are required to solve a
real-life problem of a production/service system of adequate complexity through a design
project. In the design project, the students are expected to identify problem areas that
affect the performance of the system negatively and to propose a solution that improves
performance in a measurable way.

The design project must include:

 identification of a company and a project
 site visits to understand the present state of the system,
 identification of the problem areas by investigating symptoms,
 data collection,
 problem definition with
o cause-effect relationships
o design objective, criteria, and constraints
o assumptions
 collect and analyze data necessary for developing a solution methodology,
 generate and evaluate alternative solutions for the problem under consideration,
 selection of the most appropriate alternative solutions,
 develop a mathematical/statistical model to solve the problem,
 implement the solution or design a system to determine how the system
performance is improved.

3. ORGANIZATION OF THE COURSE

Design projects will be carried out by teams of 4 students. Teams should be formed at the
beginning of the fall semester and the form in Appendix-1 should be submitted to the
department secretary on the date due as announced. The choice of company is essential as
there won’t be any chance to change it once the project work has started. The company
may be operating in the manufacturing or service sector. It is recommended that the
company should employ industrial engineers. It is imperative that none of the team
members had been employed by the chosen company (including IE 399 and IE 499
summer practices).

Following the formation of the teams, the students will have approximately one week to
submit the Problem Definition. Upon the collection of problem definitions, each team—if
approved—will be assigned a project supervisor. If a company, a design team, or a
problem is found to be unsuitable for the course goals, then steps will be taken to find a
remedy.

The project supervisors are faculty members responsible for the administration of the
course throughout the academic year. Supervisors follow the students’ progress and offer
them consultancy in those areas that may require specific expertise related to the solution
of certain problems faced during the conduct of the project. It is essential that each team
should meet the project supervisor on a weekly basis. Supervisors are also responsible for
assessing of the overall and individual performance of the team members.

Meanwhile, the client company sponsors the design project and appoints (a) contact
person(s) to guide the students. Some typical responsibilities of the contact person(s) are
to:
 provide information for the students,
 provide access to company premises,
 provide interviews with the company’s personnel,
 share their work experience with the students, and
 evaluate reports and provide feedback.

The design teams should get started with intensive work right from the beginning of the
academic year. Progress will be tracked by course instructors based on proposal, reports,
mid-semester presentations, and end-of-semester presentations. Students are also required
to visit the company as frequently as necessary. However, students should also be
considerate about the responsibilities of the personnel. Work routines should not be
disrupted, appointments and timing should be respected.

It should be noted that IE 401/405 is offered every fall semester, to be followed by IE

402/406 in the following spring semester. Any student who fails IE 401/405 will not be
able to continue the project work and will have to wait for the following fall semester to
repeat IE 401/405.

4. FORMAT OF WRITTEN DOCUMENTS

The detailed contents of written documents will be outlined in Section 5. In this section,
formatting instructions for a typical report are provided. Some of the items are not
relevant to all written material. For example, “Table of Contents” is not required for
Proposal. For such details, please refer to Section 5.
a) All submitted material should conform to the following:
 completely word-processed, spell-checked,
 1.5 line-spaced,
 in Times New Roman, font size 12,
 with the margins: left: 3 cm
2
 right: 2.5 cm
up: 3 cm
down: 2.5 cm
 justified paragraph alignment,

b) Any report should include the following sections, in the following order, each section
starting on a new page:
 Title Page (use the standard title page format given in Appendix-2)
o Please do not forget to put Team Name, Team Members and Name of
the Company on the title page.
 Abstract (for Reports 1 & 3) / Executive Summary (for Reports 2 & 4)

 List of Figures (if applicable)
 List of Appendices (separate page)
 Main Text
o The contents of Main Text are explained in detail in Section-5.
 List of References
 Glossary (if applicable)
 Appendices

c) Project Definition should be submitted as a single page. All other submitted written
material should be properly bound. Since Proposal is only a few pages stapling will be
sufficient. Reports should be bound by a plastic spiral casing.

d) Reports should be page numbered, lower right in the footer:

 Page numbering for Abstract, Table of Contents, etc. should be with Roman
numerals (i, ii, iii, iv).
 Page numbering for the main text and backmatter (appendices, etc.) should be
Arabic (1, 2, 3, 4).

e) Section numbering and bulleting should be consistent.

f) Tables and figures must be properly numbered and captioned to support your text and
be referenced within the text:
 Table captions should be positioned above the table.
 Figure captions should be positioned below the figure.

g) Abstract should:
 Be concise (100—200 words),
 Include the purpose, methods, and scope of the report,
 Communicate key results, conclusions, and recommendations very briefly,
 Not contain cliché words and sentences.

h) Appendices included at the end must support your text, properly referenced within the
text, properly numbered in the order they are referenced in the text, readable, and in print
quality.
3
i) All referenced material should be properly cited within the main text. The List of
References should include:
 author, title of book, publisher, publication date, page numbers (if necessary).
Ballou, R. H. (1999). Business logistics management. Prentice Hall, New
York, 12-16.
 author, title of article and journal with volume and number, publication date,
page numbers.
Stefansky, W. (1972). Rejecting outliers in factorial
design, Technometrics, 14 (2), 469-479.
 author, title of the article, web address, date accessed such as:
Fredrickson, B. L. (2000, March 7). Cultivating positive emotions to
optimize health and well-being. Prevention & Treatment, 3, Article 0001a.
Retrieved November 20, 2004, from
http://journals.apa.org/prevention/volume3/pre0030001a.html
 List of References should be arranged in alphabetical order by authors' last
names.
 Resources referenced must be proven and trustable. Common search engines
and popular online dictionaries should not appear in your reference list.

j) If necessary, then provide a glossary at the end of the text, giving detailed definitions of
technical terms used in the report.

5. GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING REPORTS AND OTHERS

Significant portion of the grading is based on the written documents outlined in this
section. Proper project work should be supported by reports. Please make use of formal
report writing principles. Avoid the use of personal pronouns (I, we) as much as possible.
Be specific, do not use extremely long sentences, and avoid unnecessary repetitions. Do
not use language such as “for fulfilling the purposes of IE 401/405...”. Use suitable
language as if you are addressing your client or employer in professional life.

Whenever you use data to illustrate a point, always discuss how the data was obtained.
You can present important summary tables, bar charts, pie charts, and graphs in the report
itself. Provide a copy of the data in an appendix, but do not include huge tables with
thousands of data elements that nobody will ever read.

While making any definite statements, do not forget to give quantitative evidence. For
example, if you claim that the company is carrying very high levels of inventory, you
should support with this by some numerical computation based on inventory records of
the company (or data collected by the team members during their project work).

Please be sure to fill out the peer evaluation and firm evaluation forms at the end of the
semester!

4
5.1 Project Definition

The Project Definition should be prepared as a single-page. It is not in report format, but
the same font, style, and line spacing (12 pt, Times New Roman, etc.) should be used.
Project Definition should include the following information:
 Team name, team members, email addresses and phone numbers.
 Company name, type of business, web address of the company.
 Name of contact supervisor in the company, job position, email address and
phone numbers.
 Single paragraph (4—8 sentences) summary of the intended project topic.

Please note that the Project Definition is submitted at the beginning of the semester, so
the intended project topic is based on the initial observations of the team members. It is
understandable that the problem description made here can go through some revision by
the time the team members submit their proposal.

Do not add any appendix material at the end of the project definition.

Project Definition should be submitted as 4 copies.

5.2 Proposal

The proposal is not actually a report, so it should not have a “Table of Contents”, “List of
Figures”, etc. Similar font size, style and line-spacing should be used and the proposal
should have a Title Page, Main Text, and one or two-page appendix material is
acceptable (such as the Organization Chart of the company and a Gantt Chart showing
the planned steps). Please do not include extensive appendix material in your proposal.

The Main Text of the proposal should be a maximum of 3 page long and should include
the following information. It is advised that each item below should be described in a
separate section.
 Introductory Scope of the project: Purpose and significance of the project should
be outlined
 Very brief description of the company: goals and mission, management structure,
people, business activities; products/services, environment; customers,
competitors, market.
 Problem overview.
 Expected/planned improvements and estimates of their value.
 Steps planned along with a schedule, including a problem statement and
methodology until the end of the semester (along with a Gantt Chart).
 Requirements from the company to aid the project work.

Note that to write a proper proposal, team members should have outlined a project scope
and being aware of the major deficiencies of the company already worked on developing
a problem. Therefore, special emphasis should be made on the Problem overview section.

Proposal should be submitted as 4 copies.

5
5.3 Report-1

Report-1 should include proper report sectioning as described in Section-4 (Title Page,
Abstract, Table of Contents, etc.).

The Main Text of Report-1 should contain the following sections (and subsections as
appropriate):

1. Introduction: the purpose, content, and organization of the report.

Introduction should answer the questions "What was the problem?" and "Why is it
important?" It should include information on:
 the difficulties the company faces,
 the purpose of this project (e.g., to investigate ways to improve the operations of
the company in order to make it more competitive and more efficient).

Introduction should also

Introduction should end with a paragraph similar to the following:
“The remainder of this report is organized as follows: After discussing the
importance of the problem, the following section describes the company and its
current operations and activities. Section 4 describes the problem statement and...”
and so on until the concluding section.

2. Literature Review: Conduct a research review for similar problems in the literature.
Prepare up to 1 page of review which cites at least 10 scientific papers. Focus on this to
emphasize the significance of your problem in Report-1.

Restrict your research to scientific journals listed on sites such as ScienceDirect,

WebofKnowledge, etc.

All referenced material should be properly cited within the main text as described in the
previous sections of this guide.

3. Company Description: a general description of the client’s operations and business,

including process flow diagrams and layouts of existing procedures and facilities.

This section should contain:

 all relevant operational data (such as production rates, staffing figures,
profitability, etc.)
 organization charts (may be given in the Appendix, but referred to in the text),
 facilities layouts (may be given in the Appendix, but referred to in the text),
 flow diagrams (process, information, material, decision) for the appropriate
departments (may be given in the Appendix, but referred to in the text), and
 comparison between the way your client and known competitors operate.

4. Problem Statement: focus on problem symptoms, design objective and scope of the
project (smaller components of the project and their interdependence).

6
This section contains a thorough description of the problem(s) under investigation. The
symptoms of the problem(s) and their impact on the organization should be analyzed
using relevant statistical and diagramming tools (cause and effect diagram, Pareto charts,
check sheets, etc.).

To be able to properly define the problem, analyze the process charts, the facility layout,
the organization chart and the data on production rates, inventory turnover, number of
missed deadlines per month, the lead time, the rework rate and the cycle time, etc.

Focus on the causes of the client’s problem(s). If various possible causes are stated, then
indicate which are the more important ones. It is important to justify your arguments,
preferably with quantitative data.

A proper problem development can be made in the following way:

 Carefully observing the production system,
 Locating the problems,
 Extensive data collection,
 Literature survey of relevant topics,
 Making use of analytical tools (statistical analysis, Fishbone diagram, etc.),
 Consulting faculty members and engineers at the workplace as required.

Be careful to describe a problem, not a solution. For example, "The company needs a
new information system" is a poor problem description. A better description would
explain the difficulties leading to the conclusion that the company needs a new
information system.

After the description of the problem, state your design objective. Describe what you hope
to achieve, but do not to jump into conclusions without proper analysis. For example,
"Identify the new information system to install" is a poor design objective – a better
objective may be "adjustments to the existing system". Make sure that your design
objective is clear and attainable: "Solve the company’s problems" is not a realistic design
objective. You must also state the design criteria, assumptions and constraints.

5. Conclusions: summary of results, and directions for future research.

You should describe the preliminary results obtained to date and explain what remains to
be done in the context of the original time-line.

Note that by the time of Report-1 submission, the team members should already be very
familiar with the company and its business nature and well-informed of the IE problem
which is being studied.

Report-1 should be submitted as 4 copies and should be maximum 5 pages (excluding

literature review and appendices).

7
5.4 Report-2

Report-2 should include proper report sectioning as described in Section-4. However, for
Report-2 instead of an Abstract there should be an Executive Summary (Yönetici Özeti in
Turkish). The executive summary should be:
 at most one page,
 brief and to the point without unnecessary details,
 summarizing the main points of the project and recommendations,
 foreseeing the expected benefits for the company (directed to a busy manager who
does not have time to read the entire report).
It is good practice to write the executive summary after completing a draft of your report.

The Main Text should contain the following sections (and subsections as appropriate):

1. Introduction: Similar to that of Report-1 (but expected to reflect the additional

experience you have had after the submission of Report-1)

2. Literature Review: Continue your research for similar problems and their solution
approaches/techniques/methodologies in the literature. Add an additional review to the
existing one which additionally cites at least 10 more scientific papers. This time focus
on the proposed solution methodologies for similar problems to provide the most
important background information (What have others done on the problem?) at Report-2.
The total length of the whole literature review section is restricted to 2-page long.

All referenced material should be properly cited within the main text as described in the
previous sections of this guide.

3. Company Description: Similar to that of Report-1 but should be shorter. However, you
should keep the existing appendix material (layout, flow diagrams, etc.). You can also
add the new appendix material, in case you obtained any.

4. Problem Statement: should be improved and refined from than that of Report-1 in light
of what was achieved after the submission of Report-1.

5. Methodology: A description of the overall approach used so far and will be used in the
project: a plan for conducting the project, including data collection, data analysis,
methodology and project schedule. This section describes:
 Development of alternative courses of action to solve the company’s selected
problem. Please extensively discuss alternative courses of action (solution
techniques) for the problem, considering the design objective(s), design criteria,
constraints and assumptions,
 Identify as many of these alternatives as possible and try to predict the outcome
for each individual course of action by looking into the future.
 Intensively search for new information relevant to further evaluation of the
alternatives.
 Re-examine positive and negative consequences of known alternatives, including
those originally regarded as unacceptable.
 Explain which techniques and methodology you have used so far and will be used
later on to generate the design objective(s),
8
  Briefly explain the data which you have collected so far, along with data to be
collected later on in order to evaluate your alternatives in Report-3,
 Share your data analysis results and comment on your findings (emphasis of
software such as statistical packages to analyze the data),
 Add a project plan in the form of a Gantt Chart or time-line indicating the key
project tasks until the end of the following semester as an Appendix.

When you discuss the methodology or set of tasks that will be carried out during the
remainder of the project to meet the objectives, give some detail. For example, if a
simulation model will be developed and a simulation study will be conducted, it is
important to indicate how the simulation study will help address the client's problem,
what type of questions will be answered using the simulation study, etc. Literature survey
part may help you to give valid arguments in this part.

6. Interdisciplinary Activities and Team Work:

 What other people work in the firm apart from Industrial Engineers? By observing
people from different engineering backgrounds and/or different disciplines,
mention the similar and different scope of work conducted in relation to Industrial
Engineering activities and responsibilities.
 For the interdisciplinary groups that have been formed, how have the work and
responsibilities been distributed? Detail by observing a specific
team/group/project activity.
 Describe your experiences working in a team. What were the
difficulties/advantages of working with people from different backgrounds?

7. Conclusion.

Note that by the time of Report-2 submission, the team members should already have
completed a substantial amount of data collection and made use of analytical tools to
finish the problem formulation stage. Furthermore, team members should have scheduled
a project plan to develop a solution to the problem in the following semester.

Report-2 must be comprehensive in itself. Somebody who has not read the Proposal and
Report-1 should be able to get some background information about the company and its
problems before reading the problem statement and the methodology.

Report-2 should be submitted as 4 copies and should be a maximum of 8 pages long

(excluding literature review and appendices).

9
5.5 Report-3

Report-3 should include proper report sectioning as described in Section-4.

The Main Text should contain the following sections (and subsections as appropriate):

1. Introduction: In addition to the purpose, content and organization of the report, include
some background on company description, problem statement and your methodology
very briefly.

2. Literature Review: Continue your research as in Report-2 and add at least another 10
more scientific papers that focus on the proposed solution methodologies for your
problem in Report-3. Try to summarize the papers you’ve read by comparing proposed
solution approaches according to their outcomes/advantages/disadvantages/etc. The total
length of the whole literature review section is restricted to 3 pages.
All referenced material should be properly cited within the main text as described in the
previous sections of this guide.

3. Risk and Change Management:

 Evaluate the possible risks for all alternatives:
o risk identification,
o risk assessment and analysis,
o risk treatment and control,
o risk tracking methodology suggestions.
 For all alternatives, explain the necessity of change management and how to
implement it by concerning;
o organizational structure,
o internal resistance,
o commitment of top management,
o motivating/persuading employees for the implementation of a selected
alternative, etc.

4. Decision Making: The alternative courses of action should be evaluated and

compared not by rough-cut measuring and planning but by extensive use of analytical
models and professional tools. Based on this evaluation, the most suitable course should
be chosen. The choice should be justified in an analytical manner. Compare and evaluate
these solution alternatives based on the design objectives, criteria, constraints
(uncontrollable inputs) and assumptions. Please note that the selected alternative will be
your solution approach to the company’s problem and it will be the main focus of your
Report-4.

While choosing the best alternative course of action consider the following:
 Long-term benefits as well as short-term,
 Risks involved with each course of action,
 Practical considerations (such as the financial situation of the company, in case
some of the alternatives require a huge investment, duration and technical
feasibility, etc.).

10
5. Conclusion.

While writing Report-3, consider the following:

 Consider the full range of objectives to be fulfilled by the solution to the design
problem.
 Try to answer the following questions:
o What do we want to achieve by solving the problem?
o What measures/parameters will we use to know if we are successful?
o What quantitative value (target) will we use to determine the success of
the measure?
o What will we do to meet our goals?
 Thoroughly consider a wide range of possible alternative courses of action
(courses of strategy to achieve the goal). Identify and choose alternatives
considering the design goals and the values and preferences of the decision-
maker, i.e., the client. (Note that value refers to how desirable a particular
outcome is, the value of the alternative, whether in liras, satisfaction, or other
benefit.)
 Carefully weigh whatever you know about the costs and risks of negative as well
as positive consequences that could flow from each alternative.

Report-3 should be submitted as 4 copies and should be a maximum of 10 pages

(excluding literature review and appendices).

5.6 Report-4

Report-4 should include proper report sectioning as described in Section-5. In Report-4

there should be an Executive Summary (Yönetici Özeti in Turkish) instead of an
Abstract. The executive summary should be written both in English and Turkish.

The Main Text should contain the following sections (and subsections as appropriate):
1. Introduction: describes the purpose, content, and organization of the report.

2. Literature Review: Complete your research in Report-4 by adding at least another 10

more scientific papers that focus on the similar solution methodology that has been
selected and used by you. Also, in this report, revise the whole section to ensure
coherency. The total length of the whole literature review section is restricted to 4 pages.

All referenced material should be properly cited within the main text as described in the
previous sections of this guide.

11
3. Background: Company description, problem statement in very brief. Give a summary
of alternative courses of action developed and discussed in Report-3. You should
possibly make use of subsections for the Background section.

4. Problem Solution: Depending on the alternative solution technique selected in Report-

3, describe the Linear Programming or other OR/statistical model that has been used
(assumptions, tools, all mathematical expressions, output(s) etc.)

5. Implementation Plan: Discussion of how to implement your solution. Issues of cost of

implementation, return of the benefits in the short and long run. Training requirements of
personnel. Unexpected developments during implementation. Transitional phase in case
of restructuring the system. Gantt Chart of implementation.

6. Interdisciplinary Activities and Team Work:

 What other people work in the firm apart from Industrial Engineers? By observing
people from different engineering backgrounds and/or different disciplines,
mention the similar and different scope of work conducted in relation to Industrial
Engineering activities and responsibilities.
 For the interdisciplinary groups that have been formed, how have the work and
responsibilities been distributed? Detail by observing a specific
team/group/project activity.
 Describe your experiences working in a team? What were the
difficulties/advantages working with people from different backgrounds?

7. Entrepreneurship and Innovation:

 Are there any innovative products, services, processes or organizations in the
company? If so, describe them briefly. If there isn’t any innovation history in the
company, please state the future plans of the company regarding its competitive
strategy.
 How innovation processes are organized in the company?
 Do these innovations lead other companies?
 Does the company have any procedures to lead internal/external innovations?

 What is the type of entrepreneurship conducted by the company?

o External entrepreneurship – Focus: start ups
o Internal entrepreneurship – Focus: new businesses promoted by existing
firms.

8. Conclusion.

Report-4 must be comprehensive and self-contained. A reader must be able to get a

complete picture of the client’s problem and what you have done to identify, analyze and
solve the problem (even if he/she has not read the earlier reports).

For the implementation of the best course of action:

 Carefully consider "What will the situation look like when the problem is
solved?"

12
  What steps should be taken to implement the best alternative to solve the
problem? What systems or processes should be changed in the organization, for
example, a new policy or procedure?
 How will you know if the steps are being followed or not? (these are your
indicators of the success of your plan)
 What resources will the company need in terms of people, money and facilities?
 What are the results of your implementation?

Report-4 should be submitted as 4 copies and should be a maximum of 10 pages long

(excluding literature review and appendices).

REMINDER: Please be sure to fill out the peer evaluation and firm evaluation forms at
the end of the semester!

6. GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTATIONS

Mid-semester presentations will be scheduled after you submit Proposal, Report-1 and
Report-2. Team members will have 5 minutes to describe their work to the course
instructors. Every student in each team is expected to take part in these presentations.
Feedback supplied by course instructors should be taken into account while proceeding
with the project work. The performance of the students will be taken into consideration
while grading the team work.

For the end-of-semester presentations, each team will have 20 minutes for presentation
and about 10 minutes for questions and answers. All team members will take part in the
presentation. End-of-semester presentations will be scheduled in a conference hall,
students and faculty members are invited as well as course instructors. The presentations
should be professionally prepared.

7. CONDUCT OF THE COURSE AND PLAGIARISM

Formal communication with the students will be done through the course website. Every
team is responsible for checking the website regularly. Team members should also check
the announcement boards regularly. If there are any problem team members are advised
to contact their supervisor first.

In addition to hard-copy of the report, electronic copies of written reports should also be
submitted. The entire report should constitute a single file. Electronic submission could
be through email or uploading to moodle.

After the final presentation during the spring semester, each team will submit the
electronic copy which contains the entire written work: Project Definition, Proposal,
Report-1, Report-2, Report-3, Report-4 along with end-of-semester presentation slides.
Each of these items should constitute a single file.

While preparing reports, intellectual property rights should be respected. The following
list of items is considered as plagiarism:
13
  Copy/pasting any text, figure or table from any work published online or on paper
without permission from the owner (and due credit as well).
 Obtaining a copy of the report prepared during the previous years, modifying it
with a word-processing program and submitting the resulting document.

Please note that any sort of plagiarism will not be tolerated.

If it is necessary for you to make a quotation from a book, make sure that:
 The quotation (don’t forget quotation marks) does not exceed 3 or 4 sentences,
 Due credit to the author by a footnote or a citation (article or book being in the
List of References).
