| Educational objectives | The course objective is to provide basic knowledge to perform the feasibility study of an industrial plant, to determine the optimal location, to design the plant layout, to determine the machineries and manpower required. The main knowledge gained will be: definitions and classifications of production processes and production systems theoretical knowledge related to the procedure of the feasibility study of an industrial plant theoretical knowledge of demand analysis through extrapolation methods, correlation and surveys. definition and classification of different types of lay-outs theoretical knowledge related to factors influencing the optimal plant location and quantitative / qualitative location methods The main skills gained wil bee: Using forecasting techniques to estimate market demand Ability to perform the technical and economic feasibility study of the plant and to determine the optimal production quantities Ability to determine the optimal lay-out with respect to the quantity and variety of products Ability to determine the optimal number of machines in job-shops, cells and line configurations. Ability to determine the manpower required in job-shops, cells and line configurations. Ability to determine the optimal number of shifts of a plant. Ability to find the optimum location of a plant in terms of minimization of transport costs |
| Prerequisites | In order to understand and to know how to apply most of the techniques described in the course is essential the knowledge of the following topics: - Basic concepts of statistics, mathematics, linear algebra - Basic concepts of financial mathematics for investment alternatives comparison. It is therefore recommended to have successfully taken an examination of Engineering Economy |
| Teaching methods | The course is organized as follows: - Theoretical lessons on all topics of the program - Classroom exercises consisiting in solving practical problems The exercises are held during class time, and immediately follow the theoretical lesson to which they refer |
| Other information | attendance is not compulsory but strongly adviced |
| Learning verification modality | The exam consists of a written exam and an oral exam. The written exam consists in an exercise in which the student has to solve a problem that is usually faced in the design phase of a plant, such as: demand forecasting, plant location, optimal mix of products, line balancing, determination the number of machines and manpower needed, determination of the optimal number of shifts. The exercise aim is to determine the ability to correctly apply the theoretical knowledge, the understanding of the issues proposed, and the concentration ability needed to perform correctly the calculation needed to solve the problem. The test duration is approximately 1h 30m The oral exam consists of 3 questions designed to ascertain the level of knowledge and understanding of the issues on theoretical and methodological aspects of the program. The duration of the test is about 30 min. |
