Aims

As an engineering student you will consider the impact modern production models play in ensuring products and materials reach the end user to the highest quality in the shortest of lead times. Production engineering is continually evolving as a result of both consumer and government product requirements. Therefore, this module will introduce students to the production process for key material types; the various types of machinery used to manufacture products and the different ways of organising production systems to optimise the production process. Students will also consider to measure the effectiveness of a production system within the overall context of a manufacturing system; and examine how production engineering contributes to ensuring safe and reliable operation of manufacturing.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Illustrate the role and purpose of production engineering and its relationship with the other elements of a manufacturing system.
2.
Select the most appropriate production processes and associated facility arrangements, for manufacturing products of different material types.
3.
Analyse how a production system can incorporate a number of different production processes for a given product or assembly
4.
Explore the effectiveness of a production system in terms of its operation within the wider manufacturing system.

Module Content

Outline Syllabus:• Fundamental principles of manufacturing and production base technology. • Methods of production relating to cost effectiveness and efficiency. • Consideration of future focused requirements • Environmental considerations and impacts which inform production systems and methods
