Presentation of the subject

The aim of the subject is to teach different types of production strategies depending on the type of factory and which allow the most efficient design of a production system.

At the end of the course, students will be able to carry out the following tasks in any manufacturing process:

  • Identify the parts of the production processes with added value, differentiate them from those that do not have added value.
  • Improve and optimize production systems.
  • Reduce inefficiencies.
  • Design Lay-Out
  • Evaluate and decide whether to implement a manual, semi-automated or fully automated process
  • Generate strategic plans in the short, medium and long term depending on the company's objectives
  • Design production units with person-job analysis
  • Implement methodologies for solving productive-quality-safety problems in productive environments
  • Implement rapid format changes in production lines or machines
  • Manage and organize properly optimized production units


The tools that will be mostly taught in this subject to be able to design processes in the optimal way, are the tools of the methodology LEAN i Toyota Production System.

Real productions will be analyzed with videos recorded in real factories and in completely real situations.

The data obtained can be treated with different programs including IA.
 

The classroom in which the subject is taught (physically or virtually) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, whether towards students or teachers. We trust that together we can create a safe space where we can make mistakes and learn without having to suffer prejudice from others.

Activities and evaluation system

Practical exercise 50%

Final exam 50%.

Those who do not take the final exam, those who do not take the practical exercise and those who pass cannot take the make-up exam.

There will be three types of make-up exam:

1- Type 1. Recovery exam of the practical exercise

2- Type 2. Recovery exam for the final exam

3- Type 2. Recovery exam of the practical exercise and final exam

In all cases, the maximum grade that will be given in the recovery exams will be 5.00 (sufficient)
