The course of Production Organization is part of the common module of the industrial branch, and is taught simultaneously to students of the industrial degrees (Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Industrial Electronic and Automatic Engineering). It is a subject that is taught in the first four-month period.



Taking into account that the industrial business fabric of our environment is a subject that facilitates the incorporation into the professional life of students, as it delves into issues of production management.

From the competences of the common module, this course is in charge of developing the competences CR9 (Basic knowledge of manufacturing and production systems) and CR11 (Applied knowledge of business organization).



Acquiring these competences in this subject implies to be able to



I. Properly handle terms related to production and materials planning. For example,



A. know how to calculate how much time we can respond to a customer's order.

B. Know which process sets the pace at which we produce.

C. Knowing the amount of intermediate stocks we are going to produce at any given time.

D. To be able to predict delivery delays

E. Know the amount of raw material we need to keep in stock

F. To know how long the entire production chain will stop in the event of a transportation strike.

G. Calculate if we have enough capacity to satisfy the demand. In case we do not have it, propose possible solutions.





II. To know the different industrial processes used in the manufacture of everyday products.





III. To know how to distribute the work centers in an industrial building in the most appropriate way and the necessary space. That is to say



A. Decide whether it is best to place the machines in the same order in which they are used to manufacture the product and create a production line, or to do it by departments (presses, painting, ...) or in repetitive production cells, etc.

B. Decide how many machines are necessary to meet the demand.

C. Calculate the necessary space required to organize the different work centers.





IV. Know and understand all the tools related to lean production:

A. The 5S

B. JIT

C. The 7 de-fragments

D. Kanban

E. SMED

V. Performing production planning:

A. At what time to issue production orders for each subcomponent.

B. At what time to give the purchase order for raw material and external components.



VI. To have a basis of the production sequence of different products.



VII. From a real situation to be able to make a diagnosis of the weakest points of the production system and propose improvements.



VIII. To know how to parameterize and understand an ERP software.

 

TOPIC 1: Production processes

TOPIC 2: Design of product-oriented production processes

TOPIC 3: Design of shop-floor or process-oriented production processes

TOPIC 4: Production Planning

TOPIC 5: Material and capacity planning

TOPIC 6: Production Scheduling

TOPIC 7: Management of independent demand stocks

TOPIC 8: Lean manufacturing

Lectures will be given to explain the conceptual contents of the subject; in these classes, for a better assimilation of the subject, exercises and practical case studies will be carried out.



Likewise, different software (FlexSim and Excel) will be used in the practical classes. On the one hand, to simulate and optimize industrial processes and on the other hand, to plan the needs of materials for manufacturing. Students will work in teams and individually and will have to defend the group project and take a practical exam.



In addition, each week there will be individual deliverables in the master classes and there will be two company visits to see in situ what has been covered in class.

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 60
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 10
  • Individual works (%): 10
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 15
  • Exhibition of works, readings ... (%): 5

Written exam to be developed: 60%.

Performance of internships and directed tasks (team work and exam): 30%.

Individual work and company visits: 10%.



In order to make the weighting it is necessary to pass the final exam.



In accordance with article 39 of the "Regulations for the management of first and second cycle degree courses", given that a final exam is contemplated, which represents at least 50% of the total grade for the course, failure to take the final exam will result in the waiver of the evaluation call and will be considered as a No Show.





In general, and unless otherwise indicated, during the development of the evaluation tests, the use of books, notes or notes, as well as telephone, electronic, computer, or other devices or devices by the students will be prohibited.

In any case, students will have the right to be evaluated through the final evaluation system, regardless of whether or not they have participated in the continuous evaluation system. To do so, students must submit in writing to the faculty responsible for the subject the waiver of continuous assessment, for which they will have a period of 9 weeks from the beginning of the term, according to the academic calendar of the center.

The final evaluation system will consist of a final written exam containing 2 parts: theoretical content and practical exercises and a computer practice exam.
