No. <strong>of</strong> hours per week: two hours<br />
Assessment: assignment/examination<br />
Subject aims and description<br />
This subject aims to provide an understanding <strong>of</strong> the<br />
manufacturing management systems.<br />
An overview <strong>of</strong> manufacturing management functions,<br />
organisation, data flow, control etc.<br />
Traditional approaches are followed by an overview <strong>of</strong> the<br />
current world market characteristics leading to needs for<br />
flexibility in all aspects. Role <strong>of</strong> technology and approaches<br />
such as MRPll philosophy, just in time, OPT are discussed in<br />
detail.<br />

G. Subject aims and description<br />
This subject aims to consolidate the students' prior learning<br />
2, and experience in the application <strong>of</strong> classical closed loop<br />
control systems; to provide an understanding <strong>of</strong> those factors<br />
determining stability and dynamic performance; to provide an<br />
a appreciation <strong>of</strong> modern adaptive control theory and<br />
application.<br />

lntroduction to closed loop control and applications in<br />
intearated manufacturina. Classical treatment <strong>of</strong> feedback<br />
conGol is extended to inGude the analysis <strong>of</strong> non-linear<br />
systems.<br />
Applications include chatter and instability in machine tools<br />
and manufacturing processes.<br />
Masters by coursework students are required to complete a<br />
research assignment in the area <strong>of</strong> modern control <strong>of</strong><br />
multivariable processes.<br />
