Learning Objectives
The course aims at providing the students with the basic knowledge, required to outset a correct analysis and design of production systems.
The knowledge provided is:
Knowledge and understanding of production facilities and processes. Understanding the advantages and limitations of process and plant design choices in different application contexts (cc6).
Knowledge and understanding of current issues regarding the organization and management of production factors and of the principles of company management and quantitative methodologies for the analysis of profitability of an economic activity, models for defining its organizational project, for strategic analysis and determination of the business plan (cc7).
Knowledge and understanding of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering with a particular focus on problem solving, which starts from the problem to identify causes and possible measures (typically multidisciplinary) to tackle them (cc8).
Knowledge and understanding of applicable engineering techniques and methods (and their limitations) in non-technical fields (cc10).
Application capabilities are:
Applying knowledge and understanding problems related to the choice and subsequent use of appropriate tools and methods - such as software tools for three-dimensional modeling, simulation (structural and fluid dynamics) and management of technical information – for the design and production of components and machines (ca7).
Applying knowledge and understanding problems related to multidisciplinary engineering, taking into account the constraints also of a non-technical nature, and working in collaboration with other engineers or other professional skills typically present in manufacturing companies (ca8).
Prerequisites
Knowledge of calculus, statistics, mechanical technology, English language
Teaching Methods
Classroom Lectures, study of the textbook

Type of Assessment
The student's assessment is based on an examination test which consists of performing a written assignment. Seven exam sessions are scheduled during the academic year.
The task consists of 10 questions covering the entire programme. The questions are of three types: simple theoretical questions (with relative weight of 1), theoretical questions of average difficulty (with relative weight of 2), articulated exercises (with relative weight of 3). For each section of the reference book (except for the introductory chapter) there is one question. The questions are different for each exam session and are different for each assignment within the same session. The sequential order of the questions is also casualized, to make each job unique.
In order to pass the exam with the minimum score, students must have acquired a good knowledge of the subject as a whole and must be able to model an industrial engineering problem (cc6, cc7, cc8, cc10). . In order to obtain a high mark, knowledge is required to be very good and comprehensive in all subjects covered. In order to have the highest grade with honors, the student must combine previous knowledge with outstanding ability to manage the time factor, producing an excellent result in a short time (ca7, ca8).
