510138 - INTEGRATED PRODUCTION SYSTEMS

The examination consists of a written test lasting approximately one hours or one and a half hours and an oral test that is mandatory only for those who score <= 20 and >=28 in the written test. The competences required and tested are - theoretical knowledge of FMSs (architectures/topologies, components, strategies adopted and analytical tools to assess their performance) - knowledge of key performance parameters - knowledge of analytical tools applied to FMSs with simple problem solving (e.g. use of MVA) - knowledge of the simulation logic of the tools used - knowledge of production planning and control principles (also with reference to simple examples covered in the course). Please note that students will be asked to participate in the development of a project in order to assess their learning of simulation concepts. Students will work in small groups on the simulation of an application case, which they will develop and present to teachers and colleagues in a dedicated session at the end of the course using a PowerPoint presentation. The project will be assessed with a score ranging from 0 to 3, which will contribute to the final mark achieved in the written exam.
