MG2030 Production Engineering - Simulation of Factory, Flow and Processes 6.0 credits

• Digital visualization and simulation of machining cells, layouts, material flow, and factories.       
• Factory layouts.        
• Event-driven simulation of product throughput to evaluate production capacity, lead times, bottlenecks, buffer locations and sizes, etc.        
• Simulation of manufacturing processes.

Upon completion of the course requirements, each student should be able to:       

• use simulation programs for:         
• layout design of factories, production lines, and manufacturing and assembly cells
• simulation of manufacturing in individual machines         
• coordination and balancing within and between machining cells         
• event-driven simulation to develop a proper foundation for deciding buffer and batch sizes for a desired production capacity        
• simulate the effects of different process parameter values in a given manufacturing process        
• explain the principles of exchanging product and production data between simulation programs and other IT tools        
• explore the functionality and user interface of different simulation programs and evaluate their usability in a given production case

MG1003/MG1004 Product Realization 1 and 2, orMF1012/MF1013/MF1014 Design and Product Realization A, B and C

Course binder, which will be filled with lecture notes, articles, exercises etc., throughout the course.

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

• INL1 - Assignment, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 3.0 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.
