Course detail

Theory and Design of Manufacturing Systems

FSI-GTA-KAcad. year: 2016/2017

The course familiarises students with the methodology for solution of complex tasks in the design and application of automated manufacturing systems. The students get basic knowledge in the design of manufacturing system layout, material transport and handling systems, material flow, logistics, information handling in preparing of the manufacturing process and its realisation and modern methods of work organisation. Students are also provided with the knowledge of components used for building a manufacturing system (machines, systems for material handling and storage and elements for their control and automation).

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with evaluation of manufacturing organisation, efficiency and scheduling, as well as with methods used for manufacturing system analysis.

Prerequisites

Students are expected to have the following knowledge:
- knowledge of mathematics acquired in course of previous study on FME
- knowledge of components used in manufacturing systems, i.e. manufacturing equipment, material transport and storage equipment, automation and control elements

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Course-unit credit is conditional on having attended the practicals and worked out the semester work.

Aims

The aim of the course is to make students familiar with manufacturing organisation and with analysis of manufacturing systems. Also discussed is the methodology of manufacturing evaluation and computer aided technologies. Students learn how to obtain data necessary for modelling, analysis and successful projecting of manufacturing systems.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Attendance at obligatory lessons is checked and only substantial reasons of absence are accepted. Missed lessons can be substituted for via solution of extra exercises.
