Specialisation Production Engineering & Logistics (ME-TE-PEL)

Responsible Program Employee Introduction 1 Dr.ir. H.P.M. Veeke Prof. G. Lodewijks, tel. +31 (0)15 27 88793, e-mail G.Lodewijks@tudelft.nl Dr H. P. M. Veeke, tel. +31 (0)15 27 82706, e-mail H.P.M.Veeke@tudelft.nl Secretary: Ms J. W. M. Spoek-Schouten, tel. +31 (0)15 27 82889, e-mail J.W.M.Spoek-Schouten@tudelft.nl Production Engineering and Logistics aims to prepare future engineers to play an analytical, integrative and innovative role in new developments in the following areas. Production and logistical techniques; mastering and piloting new techniques, including automation. Existing systems; analysing production and logistical processes and control. The integration of processes, techniques and control, thereby perceiving the multidisciplinary character of these processes and becoming aware of the restrictions on the engineering discipline. New organisational structures for the integration of production and transportation. The notion of the specialist has gradually been replaced by notions of process, integration and a systems-based view of supply chains. The use of these new ideas in industry and service has created the need for a course based on a methodology which offers a coherent and integrated approach to technology, organisation and information. An executive engineer has to master all the different aspects of productivity: knowledge of tools, machinery, equipment, information, operations and control systems, perception of human resources and the ability to contribute to and evaluate new industrial situations. Production Engineering and Logistics prepares students for operations management line and staff positions in industry and engineering consultancy. Much emphasis is placed on modelling as an aid to analysing operational problems and to finding acceptable solutions. The final assignment addresses a real problem in a company or organisation. Applied studies concern the automation and intelligent control of supply, production and distribution networks. Another rapidly developing area for projects and assignments is predictive modelling with simulation of industrial processes. The complexity of production organisations has increased tremendously in recent decades due to changing customer demands, increased automation possibilities, the real-time availability of information and rigid environmental conditions. The challenge for the engineer is to find solutions combining all these possibilities and restrictions. The design of a production organisation is considered to be a multidisciplinary project. The combination of organisation and logistics offers a unique opportunity to study the complete value-adding chain in industry, composed of transformation and transportation processes. Students broaden their technological knowledge by always including organisational and informational aspects within the human business environment. They also learn the restrictions on their knowledge and recognise the need for economic, sociological and/or psychological contributions. The programme uses a variety of teaching methods to achieve these objectives. Wide-ranging lectures on technology, approaches to industrial systems, information systems, operations research, simulation and business economics. A seminar to study, discuss and evaluate real-life cases with fellow students under the expert guidance of staff members. Laboratory work to gain experience with real-life systems and traineeships in industry.

Discrete Systems: MPSC

1 2 none English Modelling, discrete simulation, process-interaction method, logistics, production, transport, control, practical This is a course on the modeling of discrete systems for transport and production. It deals with a method to quickly design flexible prototype models and to implement them in a simulation environment. The method is based on the systems approach in combination with process-interaction modeling. Special attention is paid to the modeling of controls and the use of these models for real-time control. A number of practical examples, including a production process, a transport system and a port will be considered. During the course a number of individual assignments will be given to be answered via blackboard. Halfway the course, groups of 4 students are formed. Each group has to design(on paper) a process-interaction model of a realistic case including the model goal, performance indicators, input, output and an experimental design resulting in a short report. Those who have attained a satisfactory result for both the individual work and the group model design will be admitted to the second part of the course. This takes the form of a practical. The model developed in the first part has to be implemented and applied in a simulation environment based on Delphi and Tomas (see http://www.delphibasics.co.uk/ and www.tomasweb.com. The results: process-interaction model design, implementation, experiments and final report will be graded.

Study Goals

Study Goals

Education Method Computer Use Literature and Study Materials

3 4 Different, to be announced English This course focuses on the automation and control of modern transport and production systems. Automation is often necessary to increase the capacity or to reduce operating costs of industrial systems on one hand while maintaining a sufficient level of operational accuracy on the other hand. Automation requires full control of an industrial system and its equipment and a throughout understanding of the transport/manufacturing process and the dynamics of the equipment involved. In this course the automation of a number of typical systems will be studied and the dificulties and opportunities of new technologies. Basis of this course is a study of the dynamics of the operational process and the equipment. In an automated system data communication is important to ensure reliable performance. In this respect equipment and process monitoring is important as well. Therefore data acquisition, mining, analysis and transfer will be discussed in detail. The course is concluded by a practical assignment where the control of equipment used in an automated system will be studied. (1) To categorise industrial systems and identify properties that determine their performance; (2) to describe mathematically the transport process and the behaviour of equipment; (3) to determine the requirements to automate an industrial system in terms of control algorithms and equipment involved; (4) to experience the difference between automation in concept and automation in practice. Lectures (2 hours per week), practical assignment Uses of data acquisition equipment and database software Course material: Lecture book References from literature: To be determined Oral exam Access to the oral examination only after completion of the practical assignment.

The Delft Systems Approach

1 1 English Complete modeling of industrial systems includes both function models for static structures and time-dependent behaviour models. A fundamental approach leads to the proper model, the steady state model and the control paradigm. For multi-aspect modelling the PROPER model will be explained and applied to the field of logistics and organization. Modelling of the design process itself with a clear distinction between interdisciplinary function design and monodisciplinary process design.

Study Goals

The course aims to learn the students the basics of the Delft Systems Approach for Industrial Organizations (DSA). Therefore the student should learn to: - Structure complex industrial systems into the conceptual models: Steady State Model, Innovation Model, Proper Model - Describe all types of activities in terms of functions - Recognize both the operational and the control functionality - Differentiate between operational and innovation management. - Use the models for analysis and design of industrial systems Lectures (2 hours per week) Course material: Book: Analyse van organisatieproblemen, J. in t Veld (most important chapters will be available in English) Lecture notes A Systems Approach for Industrial System Design , Veeke References from literature: To be determined Written exam 50% Understanding the design process itself and the transition of using conceptual models to concrete process models. 3mE Department Maritime & Transport Technology
