Production Planning

  • Students will be able to describe the most important methods of production planning and apply them to selected examples.
  • Students will be able to analyze given manufacturing plans, describe advantages and disadvantages, and identify approaches for optimization.

Manufacturing Metrology:

Students will be able to

  • apply basic principles of production metrology.
  • explain and apply the most important methods of production metrology.
  • assign the most suitable procedure to the respective measuring tasks.
  • use the most relevant shop floor measuring equipment.
  • explain the most important principles of quality management.
  • apply the 3D coordinate measuring technique

Condition monitoring of machines:

  • Students will be able to apply the most important basics of machine monitoring and vibration measurement.
