About

About the course

Course content

Products, services and processes are designed and developed in increasingly complex industrial systems. Therefore, system thinking is important in modern production. The course presents a framework based on the systems engineering process to be used for planning, analyzing, and design of industrial systems, such as products, factories and processing plants, operation processes, information systems, and supply chains. A principal introduction to system life cycle phases will be given, with main focus on system design, from conceptual design to production. Major topics in the course are: Stakeholder analysis, requirement analysis and specification, functional analysis, conceptual design, detailed design, and planning for production, system testing, operation, system safety, maintainability, and reuse. Furthermore, analytical methods, reference models and performance indicators for the different phases are presented. The course includes an understanding of sustainability and how environmental aspects can be integrated into system design.

Learning outcome

The students shall be able to understand, analyse, plan, and design products, services, and processes in modern production enterprises.

Learning methods and activities

Lectures, exercises, and project work based on relevant theory, methods and industrial cases. Lectures are given in English. The score will be based on project work (40%) and written exam (60%). Admittance to the exam requires a 2/3 approval of the exercises. If there is a re-sit exam, the examination form may be changed from written to oral.
