Course overview
Manufacturing engineering and quality engineering are core systems used by organisations in the process of developing new products and getting them into production. Topics include: technological and manufacturing paradigms and the process of innovation, supporting systems, methodologies and techniques comprising design for manufacture and assembly, failure mode effect analysis, process control plans, statistical process control, and 8D problem solving. A number of subject-matter experts from industry will present specific manufacturing and quality engineering systems and techniques, together with specific case studies to illustrate their application.
