Manufacturing Systems
Course Synopsis: This course is a core course for
manufacturing engineering students. According to IACOCCA Institute Report
(1991) a new competitive environment is emerging, which is acting as a driving
force for change in manufacturing. Competitive advantage will accrue to those
enterprises that develop the capability to rapidly respond to the demand for
high quality and highly customized product. To achieve the agility that is
required to respond to these driving forces and to develop required capability,
it is necessary to integrate flexible technologies with highly skilled,
knowledgeable, motivated, and empowered workforce. Some of the recent
manufacturing philosophies that have appeared on the industrial scenes are Lean
and Agile Manufacturing focusing on leanness and agility, respectively. Agile
manufacturing strategies will have to treat flexibility (in its different types
and dimensions) as a central concept. However, agility is more than the
traditional interpretation of organizational flexibility. Organizational mastery
of uncertainty and changes is in focus in the agile organization; therefore,
people and knowledge are regarded as the most important organizational assets.
Organizational learning and the capability to reconfigure the business on a
continuing basis are also important characteristics of an agile enterprise –
often associated with the ability to intelligently innovate and invent new
responses, e.g. to new markets demands and business processes. Therefore, this
course supports Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9: Industry, Innovation and
Infrastructure.
