Detailed description of topics:
Continued dealing with partmanufacturing techniques: material behaviour in production processes, modelling, technological limitations, choice and optimalisation of manufacturing processes, joining and assembly, automation of manufacturing systems, technical management: economic and other aspects of operational management, the manufacturing company, workplanning, production control, design for manufacturing, product documentation, integration of the topics in case studies.

Course material:

  • The book Industriële Productie by Kals, Van Luttervelt, Moulijn.

  • Supplementary reader (only the version of 1997 or later is valid)

References from literature:
There are several literature references in the book.

Remarks (specific information about assesment, entry requirements, etc.):

  • Prerequisites: The first-year examination finished, materials 2 (mk5), introduction to business economics (bb1) and design project (wbp523) finished with a grade equal to or greater than fife.

  • Open-book examination. The student is mainly tested for his skills in applying the matter.

  • The relation of this course with the metrology laboratory project (wbp521) and the project of business economics (wbp530) is poited out.

  • The result of both the examination and the laboratory project, should be a grade fife or greater.

Goals:
The main goal of this course is to pass on the necessary knowledge and abilities of modern industrial manufacturing to the mechanical engineer. Especially for a designer it is important to have insight in the possibilities of modern manufacturing in order to achieve a reasonable manufacturing price for the designed products.

Computer use:
The use of a wordprocessor is strongly recommended for the report of the laboratory project.

Laboratory project(s):
Two exercises should be made. For details see the project schedule in this book. The completion of these exercises is compulsary for participation in the examination.

Design content:
With this course several important aspects in relation to designing such as design for manufacturing, environment, assembly etc. will be discussed.

Percentage of design: 100%
