Flexible Manufacturing Systems
MMT045, 7,5 credits, A (Second Cycle)
Valid for: 2016/17
Decided by: Education Board E
Date of Decision: 2016-04-04
General Information
Main field: Technology.
Elective for: I4-pr, M4-prr
Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish
Aim
The aim of the course is to create knowledge about the important
link that exists between technology and economy, define economic
conditions as an instrument of control for production development
and to illustrate how different processing steps form a
manufacturing system. Further on the course aim to clarify the
mutual dependence between production development and recycle
adopted manufacturing systems.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
- master the fundamental nomenclature of the manufacturing system
field and be able to describe the development of and the
prerequisites for the manufacturing systems from mass production to
the production philosophies of today.
- be able to describe the characteristics of different types of
production and layouts.
- master calculation principles for the manufacturing cost of a
production section where all the essential factors are taken into
consideration and to have knowledge about different key ratios
which describe the performance of the manufacturing system.
- to have an understanding about the basics of manufacturing
economic simulation and be able to establish a plan for production
development based on goal functions under given conditions.
- be able to describe the tools and principles for a continuous
production development based on the concept of lean production
among others.
- to have an understanding about the demands that must be made on
a manufacturing system regarding environment and recycling
aspects.
- to have an understanding about and to be able to exemplify
important connections between product development and production
and to have an understanding about the prerequisites and the basic
knowledge in the field of industrial purchase.
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
- be able to analyze and calculate the production capacity of a
machine or a production section.
- be able to dimension and configure a manufacturing system with
known data and statistically handle different behaviours for
example disturbances in a manufacturing system.
- be able to plan, put up and carry out a systematic production
analysis including analyses of the achieved results.
