Diploma Year module NQF level: 6 Credits: 12
Module presented in English Module presented online
Pre-requisite: MAT1581 Co-requisite: MAT1581
Purpose: This module is primarily industry oriented and provides students with a sound knowledge base in production engineering. The purpose is therefore to provide the students with the knowledge and understanding of production engineering techniques and principles which include: Forecasting, Quality Management, Facility Layout, Inventory Management as well as Materials Requirements Planning. Secondly this module will equip the student with the necessary skills and the abilities to apply the above knowledge with confidence, in the solution of problems in this field. Thirdly this course will equip the students with the ability to combine this knowledge and concepts with those of other disciplines to solve problems encountered in practice. At the completion of the module the student will be able to understand and practically apply production engineering techniques and principles to broadly defined engineering problems in manufacturing and service environments.
