Prerequisites
Manufacturing engineering/technologyIntended learning outcomes
The course is designed to build on a customer-centered perspective, understanding and skills to meet future industrial situation. By working in an industrial project the students will be trained to identify and analyze problems based on given conditions in an actual industrial context.
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 a production system design.
Course content
The course covers various types of production systems and for which such industrial applications as they are most prevalent. We will examine how the different processing methods, production equipment, handling equipment and control technology work together with respect to product, machine and man.
The theoretical part includes, 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, FMS, etc
- New production system concepts in the form of mass-customization, individualized production
- Methods to achieve flexibility
- Production of carbon fibre composit products
- "New" production philosophies applied to the machines in the production system.
Teaching and working methods
The course consists of lectures, seminars, industrial study visits and industrial project.
The course consists of several different types of elements or parts with the overall goal of combining theory with practical training. Through an applied small project carried out at industrial companies, the students will carry out a study related to a design of a production system. The project groups will be working with different types of problems. 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, verbally and in a report, in a concise way, adequately and clearly.

Regulations (apply to LiU in its entirety)
The university is a government agency whose operations are regulated by legislation and ordinances, which include the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. In addition to legislation and ordinances, operations are subject to several policy documents. The Linköping University rule book collects currently valid decisions of a regulatory nature taken by the university board, the vice-chancellor and faculty/department boards.
LiU’s rule book for education at first-cycle and second-cycle levels is available at http://styrdokument.liu.se/Regelsamling/Innehall/Utbildning_pa_grund-_och_avancerad_niva.
