Course Description
We are continually developing our Engineering and Management of Manufacturing Systems course based on the requirements of industrial sponsors and findings of our research. Current trends are in the development of lean and agile manufacturing systems and their supply chains, the design of web-based manufacturing information systems and the development of consulting skills. The MSc Manufacturing option is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), (formed by an amalgamation of the Institution of Electrical Engineers and the Institution of Incorporated Engineers), the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) for meeting the 'further learning requirements' for Chartered Engineer registration. We achieve our course objectives through a carefully integrated and structured series of eight one-week assessed taught modules, an industrially sponsored group project and a major individual project. The modules include lectures and tutorials and are assessed through written examinations and assignments. Covering both the technical aspects and training in technology management and transferable skills, they provide the 'tools' required for the group and individual projects. Course content includes: Enterprise Information Systems; General Management; Manufacturing Strategy; Manufacturing Systems Engineering; Manufacturing Technology Management; Operations Analysis; Operations Management; Supply Chain Management.
