Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the students should be able to:
- describe the role of the assembly process within the manufacturing domain and discuss its importance
- create mathematical and feature models of assemblies and use them in context of design and evaluation of assembly systems
- account for the dynamic and static constraints of a manual or automatic assembly process
- analyse a given product and define feasible assembly sequences
- choose the best sequence by applying technical and economical criteria
- describe the function of all the elements of an assembly system (both automatic and manual)
- evaluate the impact of the product design on the assembly process, by applying the Boothroyd DFA methodologies
- identify the requirements on design of an assembly station and provide instructions for the subsequent implementation
- calculate the costs and the most important economical key performance indicators (KPIs) for standard assembly systems (both manual and automatic)
