Typical Modules (all core)
Managing People and Organisations (15 credits)
Main topics of study: nature of organisations and their development and effectiveness; the role of the engineering manager and the contingency theory of management; the nature and strategic role of human resource management; developments in management theory for business performance management; learning organisations and the role of innovation; managing innovation including organisational culture in a global business environment; motivation and managing high performing teams; managing change and designing organisations that support creativity and innovation.
Global Manufacturing Strategy and Operations (15 credits)
Main topics of study: enterprise systems for supporting the product manufacturing, and development and lifecycle; the marketing/services/supply chains and their interface; e-Manufacturing and operations; digital enterprise technology (DET), virtual organizations and the integration; selection and use of DET and eManufacturing tools; global manufacturing implementation issues and methodology; global manufacturing concept, methodology and implementation issues; case studies on global manufacturing operations and best practices.
Project Management (15 credits)
The module starts with the definition of a project and takes the student through a selection of all of the techniques and methods necessary to understand and use project management, including analytical methods as well as people issues.
Quality Management (15 credits).
This module aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the principles of modern quality assurance which underpin the discipline and their applications in engineering, manufacturing and enterprises. Topics covered include History and nature of quality management; Views of the gurus and ISO 9000; Problem solving tools; Benchmarking; Quality function deployment; Poka Yoke; Statistical process control; Failure modes and effects analysis; Significance testing; Design of experiments and Taguchi methods.
Reliability and Maintenance management (15 credits)
Aims to provide a professional working knowledge of the reliability engineering techniques that the students can apply to improve the maintenance, the maintainability and the safety of an industrial plant. The module also seeks to explain the purpose of maintenance within an organisation and to review the development of its principles and techniques, thus enabling the students to develop a structured strategy for maintaining complex industrial plant.
Logistics and Global Supply Chain Management (15 credits)
Main topics of study: logistics and supply chain management- an introduction; managing material flow (the physical distribution and control of goods); the role of information systems (eCommerce) in developing and enhancing supply chain management; supply chain Relationships; the customer service dimension; time based competition; the Global Supply chain; managing the supply chain of the future.
Systems Modelling and Simulation (15 credits)
Main topics of study: principles of systems engineering; modelling and analysis of discrete Systems; material flow systems (assembly lines, transfer lines, serial systems, shop scheduling, flexible manufacturing, group technology, facility layout); machine setup and operation sequence; material handling systems; general modelling approaches (queuing models); process simulation and data analysis, enterprise operations; supply chain and logistics-reverse logistics modelling concepts.
Financial Management (15 credits)
Main topics of study: the importance of financial control within organisations; the common tools of financial management, including profit and loss accounts, balance sheets and cash flow statements; the techniques and rationale of budgeting; the use of financial techniques for decision making; techniques such as break-even analysis, simple payback, discounted cash flow, internal rate of return, and contracts.
Dissertation (60 credits)
Following the taught part of the programme and reflecting individual interests, the dissertation is an in-depth study of a manufacturing problem or situation, requiring a high standard of investigation and presentation. The analysis of a 'real' problem is expected, frequently involving a company or workplace. Close liaison between the University, the student and, where appropriate, the company is essential when selecting a topic which has a suitable academic content and an appropriate scope, relevance and timescale.
