Content
This is a part of Semester 2 of the Bachelor Mechanical Engineering (UT-VU) See here for the compete description of this semester.

MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS is the third course in the DESIGN & MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING learning line. Production management is the activity of managing the resources that create and deliver products by changing inputs into outputs using an “input-transformation-output” process. This course is about this “input-transformation-output” process and all the related topics. These topics are about company/manufacturing strategies, designing a production system, planning and control of such a system, performance and improvement of existing systems, maintenance and the relation between these topics.
 
After this course, the student has insight in the organization of manufacturing facilities and is able to use this knowledge to (re)design, improve and maintain a manufacturing system.

Please note: This course takes place in Amsterdam and is only accessible for BSc UT-VU ME students.
