Objectives

The main objective is to introduce the basic principles and technologies associated with the concepts of integrated production and flexible manufacturing. The emphasis is on the shop floor level and the technology for flexible automation.

Program

1- Introduction to Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM): basic concepts associated with manufacturing systems; functions and activities; flow of materials and flow of information; concept of integrated manufacture; elements of computer integrated manufacturing (CIM).
2- Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS): concept of flexibility; types of automated systems (fixed, programmable, and flexible automation); characteristics of equipment for production, transport and storage, and the overall computer control system.
3- Integration of shop floor and technological support systems: Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD, CAM, CAD/CAM); group technology; parts classification and coding; process planning (CAPP- Computer Aided Processing Planning); product model; interfaces for CAD/CAM; standard for the exchange of product model data (ISO 10300, STEP)
4- Integration of shop floor and technological support systems with production planning and control: objectives, main functions and planning levels of production planning and control (PP&C); MRPII (Manufacturing Resources Planning) systems and its evolution; Just-in-Time (JIT) and CIM.
5- Implementation of CIM: reference models and architectures for CIM.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The course lectures are organised in two types of lectures. The theoretical type lectures consist on a presentation of the various teaching subjects.
In the more practical lectures the students, organised in groups, work on a case study under the supervision of the lecturer. The students have available software products (i.e. ARIS; ARENA) that may be used for the analysis, modeling and specification of the problems associated with each work.

Software

ARIS from IDS(Toolset,Easydesign,Simulation) ARENA from Rockwell Software Inc.

Evaluation Type

Distributed evaluation with final exam

Eligibility for exams

Minimum attendance to the lectures.
Presentation of the report.

Calculation formula of final grade

Continuous evaluation (35%)
Final Exam (65%)

I order to satisfy the passing requirements, the final classification should be equal or greater than 10 marks in 20, as well as having a Final Exam classification equal or greater than 9 marks in 20.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

Report (35%)
Final Exam (65%)

Classification improvement

Only the Final Exam is subject to classification improvement.
