Aim: To give the students an understanding of the requirements for and possibilities in integration of process and production related activities with other company activities by describing: a) process and production activities in an a mechanical manufacturing company, b) the interaction and relationships to other activities, c) possibilities and consequences of integration of engineering, d) applications for computer science to support and integrate. There will be given an overview of design and developing tools for improving production and information systems, this includes structured methods and simulation models. There will be given an understanding of integration between CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/ Manufacturing), CAPP (Computer Aided Process Planning), Manufacturing Resource Planning, Work Flow Monitoring and Shop Floor Control (cell control). Further, introduction to automation, CNC equipment, Robotics etc. plus information and database technology will be given.
Contents: The course will cover main parts of the engineering activities in mechanical manufacturing by focusing on the CIM lab at the Department. This includes activities regarding product design, production preparation, production management and production. These activities are today typically computer supported and to a wide extent technically and by organizationally integrated. Of main topics can be mentioned CAD/CAE, CAM, NC programming, Process Planning, Manufacturing Resource Planning, Simulation and Shop Floor Control (Cell Control). This is covered based on the situation today as well as the integrated concept where manufacturing is much more efficient, consistent and productive. A number of practical cases of integration will be demonstrated. Part of the curriculum will be taught as project work, where the students are going to carry out a minor literature search for a given topic and present the results in a plenary discussion.
During the course 6 exercises will be carried out, which give the students insight in different aspects of integration and in how to apply specific engineering tools (simulation, NC programming, Shop Floor Control).
