COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc in Engineering and Management of Manufacturing Systems equips students with essential skills for designing and managing competitive manufacturing operations through its compulsory modules. Operations Management introduces core concepts like flow, lean manufacturing, and inventory systems, enabling students to assess production strategies and optimize performance. Managing Change in Manufacturing focuses on leading change initiatives, covering financial analysis, business case development, and project management techniques to ensure effective implementation. Operations Analysis develops analytical skills using Six Sigma, statistical process control, and lean tools to improve process efficiency and system reliability. Manufacturing Systems Engineering explores modeling and simulation techniques, such as discrete-event simulation, to design efficient manufacturing layouts and enhance productivity. Sustainability in Manufacturing Systems emphasizes sustainable decision-making, using tools like Green Value Stream Mapping and Life Cycle Assessment to address environmental challenges across processes and supply chains. Smart Manufacturing delves into Industry 4.0 technologies, including SCADA, IIoT, and machine learning, preparing students for data-driven manufacturing environments. Supply Chain Management addresses strategy, supplier relationships, and digital tools to optimize supply networks and reduce inefficiencies like the bullwhip effect. These modules integrate practical tools, case studies, and industry-relevant projects, fostering teamwork and transferable skills. Graduates are well-prepared for careers in manufacturing, services, or consultancy, with the ability to drive innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence in dynamic global industries.
