Aim
The course aims to provide knowledge and understanding of industrial production. The student should be able to account for and analyze a production environment from logistical, economic, and qualitative perspectives and gain an understanding of both the use of additive methods (AM) in industrial production and industry standards for both production and AM.
Course objectives
After completing the course, students should be able to:
- critically examine the role of companies and how the company's production is part of value chains,
- explain and analyze concepts and models in production economics theory,
- describe and use common methods for inventory management,
- apply and combine models and methods for quality management, and
- describe and analyze current standardization in the field of additive manufacturing and have knowledge of specific standards in some areas.
Content
- The technical rationalization movement
- The company as a model and role in value chain
- The goals and strategic role of production
- Products, product development and manufacturing processes
- Production processes, production administration, capacity, and layout
- Production flows, supply chains, Just-in-time, Lean, and queue theory
