Course objectives:
Introduction, consideration and application of procedures and models for integrated design, shaping and optimization of production systems within the product life cycle.
Student responsibilities:
Class attendance, project making and submission, exam
Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:
Two written tests (optional), project preparation and submission, written and oral exam
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):
1 . Recognize the structure of the production system
2 . Determine the required number of machines and equipment, departments and the type and number of workforce
3 . Calculate the required area to accommodate the production system
4 . Determine the layout of machines and workplaces in the production system
5 . Predict the macro and microlocation of the production system
6 . Predict the arrangement of objects at the microlocation
