Students will learn and develop design optimisation techniques to capture key characteristics of closed-loop manufacturing processes to integrate manufacturing system design information with statistical analysis and variation simulations. The results will lead to precisely model, configure, optimize and control process variation and production throughput in multistage assembly processes. Work can be tailored in one of the following areas: optimization, quality control and/or simulations of production systems. Project is especially suited for motivated students interested in working in teams and interested in working with manufacturing and service industry after graduation. Students interested should send their CVs to Prof. Darek Ceglarek (d.j.ceglarek@warwick.ac.uk).
