Industrialization : from Plant to Workstation - 4GUC00C5

Goal(s)

In a product life-cycle, various constraints need to be taken into account when designing industrial processes from the design phase through to the mass production phase. These constraints can be linked to technical, economic or organisational issues. An engineer must specify and implement production technologies, human resources and adapted organisations. The industrial engineer must also manage information exchange and dialogues between the design office, production, purchasing, logistics and distribution.
This course is one of the steps to achieve these skills. It gives the basic groundwork necessary for any future industrial engineer to develop both organisational and technical skills.

The aim is to present the different methods of organising a workshop by following these approaches:

• physical implantation
• transfers between positions

This course is useful for any engineer wishing to work with production services. However, it is particularly relevant to future industrial engineers who will work closely with design offices and method & production services in order to find the best means of production for a given product.

At the end of this course, students are able to:

• Organise and optimise the implementation of the means of production
• Use robotic transfer means adapted to the situation
