Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course, the student will be able to:
- describe different types of models used for model-based development and analysis of manufacturing systems
- design and analyse operations for a certain manufacturing process, using a CAM system
- develop and implement a model for discrete event simulation of material flows, when designing and analysing a manufacturing system to be
- use specific factory layout software to plan a manufacturing plant, based on given preconditions and requirements
- analyse interaction and mutual influence between manufacturing process, material flow and the layout of the manufacturing system, during model-based development
- develop a model of a system for manufacturing a given number of an advanced industrial product, including design of process, material flow and layout, based on given manufacturing preconditions
