Profile Organisation & Management (O&M)

Types of students Researchers: are curious Designers: are creative and constructive Managers: deal with processes and people

What is Management? Management (NL): –het besturen van een onderneming –de personen die een onderneming leiden –TBK Management (UK): –the process of managing –managing: Having executive control or authority over something (processes, systems) Directing a company, people (psychology, social behaviour entrepreneurship)

Examples: factory, department, hospital, transportation system, sorter O&M = Design on system level (also of processes and control) Scope of O&M profile Products system process Organisation & Management/Control People Layout Technology Means Performance: Time Quality Costs

Profile courses O&M Management of Product Engineering Manufacturing Facility Design Design of Production and Inventory Systems. Cost Management & Engineering + TWO courses from other profiles

Management of Product Engineering

Goal: obtaining insight and experience by means of a multidisciplinary industrial project Game, in which the lecturer plays the role of the customer Integrated course elements: learning to work in a multidisciplinary design team initiating product development a product feasibility study preparing a proposal to the external customer management of time, information, quality and risks communication with the customer implemention issues patents using design tools

Design Tools for product engineering Software tools that support the engineering process from the initial concept up to the moment that the product is ready for manufacturing conceptual design kinematical simulation material selection ergonomic simulation QFD FMEA

Manufacturing Facility Design

Machine selection Capacity planning Layout planning In-plant transportation Technical issues of warehousing Topics

13 Facility Layout From-to matrix  layout

In-plant transportation systems (design, planning & control) Sorter system Rolls Royce among AGVs

Automated warehousing and logistic systems

Digital mock-ups Facility Design in CAD and VR OPM Virtual Lab: T-Xchange Cell

Design of Production and Inventory Systems

Design of production and inventory systems Manufacturing strategy and the supply chain Production planning Inventory control Pull systems Multistage models Lean manufacturing Shop scheduling Shop floor control

Production Planning and Control

Inventory control

21 Inventory control safety stock distribution of demand during time stock out expected demand during inventory Q r 0 Inventory control

22 Scheduling Processing time on machine job total (t j ) order Consider: j 2 and j 3 : Makespan (j 2,j 3 ) = 12 Makespan (j 3,j 2 ) = Add j 1 to (j 3,j 2 ): Makespan (j 1,j 3,j 2 ) = 18 Makespan (j 3,j 1,j 2 ) = 16 Makespan (j 3,j 2,j 1 ) =

Cost Management & Engineering

Costs are everywhere….. Focus on product engineering; costs of alternative designs Learning to identify the factors that determine product costs Implications of a product design for production and exploitation costs How do you invest in capital in a fast changing environment? Enterprise economics, cost control…..for technicians!

How does the O&M profile fit on the ME research groups? Examples: PT with O&M profile: design of the polymers factory of the future Thermal Engineering: special program O&M + thermal ME available OPM/Design: management of product engineering, rapid performance evaluation of system designs (e.g. baggage handling systems)

Applied Mechanics: e.g. dynamics of a logistic system (e.g. an automated warehouse) Mechanical Automation: e.g. optimisation of robot handling, nesting in plates for laser cutting Biomechanical Engineering: health care logistics, e.g. optimisation of utilization operating rooms Classical ME: management of research PM: that is logical! How does the O&M profile fit on the ME research groups? Cont.
