Overview of the course planning
• The aim is to increase the understanding of production. Not just
transferring information and explicit knowledge.
• Link technology – organisation – personell – ”philosophy” – etc
• Train the students to identify, analyze and synthetize the
different aspects of a production assignment/task
• This requires that the students participate actively during the
lectures and seminars
2
Goal
After the course the student should:
• Have insight how manufacturing equipment, handling
equipment and control technology are utilized for the design
and operation of flexible manufacturing systems. Also, taking
into account the interaction between man and machine.
• Be able to use concepts and models for analysis of production
systems with consideration to product development and
production strategy.
• Be able to “design” production systems for various industrial
needs.
• In the context of a “small” project engineering team discuss and
argue for the selected solutions for production.

Course content
For example:
• The main types of production systems in the form of multi-purpose
workshops, product workshops and general production workshops
• Automated lines, functional design, NC shops and FMS
• New production system concepts in the form of mass-customization,
individualized production, functional FMS
• Methods to achieve flexibility
• The "Japanese production philosophies" applied to the machines in
the production system.
• Methods, equipment, and systems for production of
products/components in the “new coming” materials:
Composite/carbon fibre

The project assignment:
• By working in a project the students will be trained to identify and
analyze problems based on given conditions in an actual
industrial context.
• The project groups will be working with different types of
problems/tasks.
• These will be discussed during seminars that will provide a wider
and deeper understanding of the whole
• The project team will present the project results in a concise,
adequately and clearly orally and in a report.
• The intention is that project teams will consist of students with
different background, coming from different master programs, etc.
• One goal of the course is to train the students to work in multidisciplinary teams. Ideally also in multi-nationality teams
• The intention is that you should also utilize knowledge from
previous courses in the project work.
