MG1003 Product Realization 1 12.0 credits

The course content is task oriented. The course raises issues related to product development and production which emanate when an industrial company takes an order to develop and produce a specific product. For comprehensivness, the course shows the most common decisions a production unit faces in introducing an upcoming production start.

The course shows how these activities can be taken to collaborate and then create prerequisites to offer the customers an attractive product that fulfills the desired properties, with cutting edge technology, economic benefit and environment friendly .

The teaching is carried out through studying relevant activities related to the different aspects of a fictitious company. The lectures make use of presentations of activities with accompanying exersices, in which the participants will come up with the solution by themselves. Assignments can be home taken. Lab exercises provide hands on demonstrations of industrial solutions.

The course gives participants a first glance in how an industrial product realization process should be carried out for an attractive product to the customer

After the course, the participants will:

have knowledge about common methods and supporting tools used in product realization

• be able to formulate and interpret requirement specifications in product realization
• have knowledge about the most common function carriers (technical principles which fulfil functions)
• be able to choose standard components and common design materials to those problems treated in the course.
• be able measure a simple machine element
• be able to choose among the the most common manufacturing methods
• be able to propose a simple manufactring system
• be able to carryout a simple “detail planning” of a production system, (scope, capacity, bottlenecks, scheduling, routing, leadtime…)
• be able to carryout simpler production flow simulation.
• be familiarised with collaborative work around a technical problem solving in an engineering setting.
• be able to present result from the project tasks in a written and oral presentations.

Will be decided later.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Assignment, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• INL2 - Assignment, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• INL3 - Assignment, 1.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• LAB1 - Laboratory Work, 1.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 6.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

• All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
• In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
• In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.

Course 4G1163 Product Realization 2 for M is a direct continuation of this course, also there exist a possibility to develop a third year further strengthening work. The production aspect will be treated in Assembly, Digital Factory and Real Factory courses.
