Aims
This Module aims to deliver key aspects of management in relation to projects and operations in automotive industry engineering organizations. It also aims to develop the students' awareness of the economic, social, and environmental context of engineering and their implications in automotive engineering. In addition, the units also emphasize the running costs of automobiles including the fuel and maintenance which leads towards the concept of optimization. Finally the unit addresses the disposal costs and a total analysis of life cycle costing.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply fundamental theories and concepts of management in engineering organizations
2.
Explain and apply fundamental theories and concepts from quality assurance and management in automotive manufacturing context and assess the impact of health and safety, industrial, labor and consumer laws
3.
Recognize the economic impact of engineering solutions and the application of the basic concepts and terminology used in engineering economics including basic analysis tools
4.
Explain the value chain of automobiles and carry out the life cycle cost analysis
