The course further clarifies the important link that exists between economics, technology and sustainability. The course focuses on applying the knowledge gained from previous courses, e.g. Sustainable manufacturing systems (MMTN31). Furthermore, the course provides in-depth knowledge of key figures (KPIs), sustainability follow-up, financial analysis of balancing losses, optimal staffing and optimal automation level. In-depth studies are also carried out within statistical analyzes of production data for assessment of various manufacturing systems from a production production performance point of view, primarily based on quality and delivery reliability with the aim of developing adequate development opportunities. In-depth study in the form of a study in a current area within production development, production and material development or industrial sustainability.
