Intended learning outcomes

The course in production development will provide knowledge about the production process in respect of qualified development, planning and coordination of production.
The students should after the course be able to analyze, evaluate and modify a production process with respect to economic, technological, ergonomic and organizational factors. After completing the course, students will be able to:

  • Prepare and plan the production of a product
  • Mapping process flows and perform value stream mapping
  • Improve value streams in order to provide added value and eliminate wastage, ie, promote economic growth and secure employment
  • Describe production layout impact on workplace design
  • Describe methods of statistical quality control
  • Describe the concept of lean production and relevant tools
After the course the student can:
  • Develop production variant for manufacturing and assembly to final product
  • Conduct a study and provide suggestions for streamlining the production process with respect to ergonomic, economic, quality of technical aspects.
  • Prepare and present proposals on how changes can best be used for the development of a production section
