Obiettivi Formativi
The general objective of the course is to provide the competencies required to train a manager of manufacturing processes (RM1) with special focus on the technological issues, the selection of the optimal processes and the economic impact of the possible technical alternatives.
The course wants to provide the theoretical tools to analyze a manufacturing process and define the optimal technical options both in terms of processes (cc3) and materials. This will be achieved thanks to the modeling of processes based on their physics (cc1, cc2) ed the tools to evaluate the possible introduction of innovative technologies such as rapid prototyping and Additive Manufacturing (cc6).
The acquired competences will be applied in the development of a Design for Manufacturing analysis of a mechanical component, in order to test and refine what acquired on the optimization of a product design and its manufacturing cycle (ca3, ca4). This study will be carried out by groups of students (2-4 students for each group) and will enable the students to test their problem solving attitude (cc7) and to work within a team to create a technical-economic analysis of a product (cc9) using consolidated industrial approaches (cc8).
Other competences that will be provided within the course are related to innovative and non-conventional processes (ca7) and the analytical modeling of manufacturing processes (ca2) and the development of advanced monitoring solutions (ca2, ca3).
The course requires the development of a reengineering study of an existing assembly, to be carried out by a team of students. The work must be presented by the group as part of the examination and it has the objective to support the acquisition of the following competences: written technical communication (ct1), coordinated work group (ct2), development of an adequate expression and technical discussion of own arguments (ct3), graphic representation and communication (ct4) and communication through presentations and web systems (ct8).
Prerequisiti
It is required to have at least basic knowledge of:
Manufacturing systems
Industrial economy
Metodi Didattici
50 hours of lesson
16 hours of laboratory for the development of a technical-economic analysis of a manufacturing system
6 hours of in-class exercises
Altre Informazioni
Didactic materials and audio track of the course are available on Moodle
Modalità di verifica apprendimento
Oral or written examination + development of a Design for Manufacturing analysis of a mechanical component. This analysis must be developed by a group of students (2-4 ideally) and must be submitted on Moodle before the oral examination.
The exam wants to evaluate the capabilities acquired by the student regarding the use of a straight and methodological approach to define the optimal manufacturing cycle for the production of a mechanical component and to assess its cost and efficiency.
Moreover, the development of the DFM analysis, wants to provide a challenge to the students that could be solved only with team-working and testing their problem-solving attitudes.
The final mark will be based 1/3 on the DFM analysis and 2/3 on the oral/written examination
