Course Aim and Objectives In the past two decades, manufacturing industry worldwide has experienced the most radical changes since the industrial revolution. These changes in clude globalization, mass customization, enterprise agility/ supply chain management, continuous innovation, and increasing application of collaborative design and manufacture. The challenges of a multidisciplinary work environment require a new generation of engineers that are highly specialised but at the same time need to understand product life cycle from inception (design) to the end (recycling & reusability). For the engineering and academic community, therefore, it is essential to train and educate the next generation of engineers who will be able to work in the challenging environment where a systems approach to problem solving is crucial. For example, appreciation of critical decision-making under uncertainty, application of a combination hardware software technology to address Enterprise Resource Planning issues, development of manufacturing techniques, usage and creation of advanced mate r - ial such as alloys, manufacturing processes, and dealing with shopfloor automation. The programme is designed to enable its students to learn, understand and implement the principles and techniques and to become high quality innovative manufacturing and systems engineers who can meet the knowledge and information needs of the modern enterprise in the international/national/ regional context. Modules Module1: Systems Modelling and Simulation (Dr Alireza Mousavi) The aim of this module is to encourage systematic thinking and acquiring knowledge and skills to model and analyse modern complex systems. Critically evaluate and implement principles of systems approach and analysis. Describe, evaluate and appropriately apply systems concepts to real world industrial problems and to design, plan and solve arising problems that day-to-day management of such systems encounter. Gain the required skills for modelling, simulating and critically analysing performance of deterministic and stochastic systems. The candidate will deploy the latest techniques and tools in Discrete Event Simulation to capture the interactions and negotiations between components of enterprise systems. We use the simulation and modelling software tools such as Arena as a tool for this purpose. page 2 Master of Science in Advanced Manufacturing Systems TAE
