Learning Outcomes
Course Learning Outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce the management of manufacturing systems for success in today’s global competitive environment. Emphasis will be placed on the inter-dependent methodologies and technologies required for the design and operations of a world-class modern manufacturing business and how they relate to manufacturing success. A considerable part of the course is devoted to advanced quality management systems and their influence and cross relation on the development of new products and the manufacturing of goods in industry. At the conclusion of the course students will:
1 Have a solid foundation in the theory, concepts and principles of manufacturing engineering and quality systems 2 Have accessed, read and analysed a range of seminal articles and key reference materials underpinning the discipline 3 Developed the the conceptual frameworks, analytical and critical thinking skills that enable them to generate innovative solutions to a broad range of isues and problems 4 Be able to work independently and as an effective member of a team in order to apply their acquired knowledge and skills to both theoretical and practical problems University Graduate Attributes
This course will provide students with an opportunity to develop the Graduate Attribute(s) specified below:
University Graduate Attribute Course Learning Outcome(s) Knowledge and understanding of the content and techniques of a chosen discipline at advanced levels that are internationally recognised. 1-4 The ability to locate, analyse, evaluate and synthesise information from a wide variety of sources in a planned and timely manner. 1-4 An ability to apply effective, creative and innovative solutions, both independently and cooperatively, to current and future problems. 1-4 Skills of a high order in interpersonal understanding, teamwork and communication. 1-4 A proficiency in the appropriate use of contemporary technologies. 1-4 A commitment to continuous learning and the capacity to maintain intellectual curiosity throughout life. 1-4 A commitment to the highest standards of professional endeavour and the ability to take a leadership role in the community. 1-4 An awareness of ethical, social and cultural issues within a global context and their importance in the exercise of professional skills and responsibilities. 1-4 -

Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
FREE TEXT ENTRY: Areas must provide an explanation of the approach to learning and teaching for this course, and the relationship of these e.g. lectures supported by problem-solving tutorials developing material covered in lectures
Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
It is expected that students spend approximately 45 hours of their own time on lecture preparation, reading, tutorials, assignments and the industry visit over the course of the semester.
Learning Activities Summary
Operations Management
- The strategic business context
- Global competition, competitiveness and manufacturing strategy
- Strategic Manufacturing
- Innovation and technology management
- Technology development, product design and competitive advantage
Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA)
- Product development cycle
- Material and process selection for functionality and cost
- Failure Mode Effect Analysis [FMEA]
- Design Failure Mode Effect Analysis [DFMEA]
- Process Flow Charts
- Machine Failure Mode Effect Analysis [MFMEA]
Quality Management & Control

Specific Course Requirements
Students will be given the opportunity to make a formal visit to an advanced manufacturing facility. During the course of the industry visit students will see firsthand how the manufacturing and quality systems and techniques are used in the day to day operation of the production facility. All students are strongly encouraged to attend the industry visit to enhance their understanding of the Manufacturing Engineering and Quality Systems, their capacity to complete the assignments and exam as well as to better prepare themselves for employment opportunities.

Assessment
The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:
- Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
- Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
- Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
- Assessment must maintain academic standards.
Assessment Summary
The assignments take the form of open-ended industry problems, which tests students’ ability to bring information (from class and from their research) to bear on the given problem. As there is no single right answer to the assignments, answers that demonstrate a well-reasoned approach to solving the problem, taking account of all of the parameters that impact on the solution and follow the format discussed in class, attract full marks. This tests the students’ ability to provide a technically correct answer that is succinct and readily understandable by others. The assignments are marked and the results included in the final assessment. Feedback is provided on each student’s work. The assignments are complimented by non-assessed case studies and class exercises. .
The examination is a summative assessment and is intended to assess the student’s knowledge and understanding of the course material and how it fits into the global engineering context. To achieve full marks they are challenged to transfer scenarios from class into more complex scenarios in the exam.
Due dates for the individual assignments will be posted on MyUni prior to the start of the semester and covered in the unit introductory lecture at the start of the semester.
Assessment Related Requirements
Attendance of the Industry Visit is voluntary.
Assessment Detail
Assignments (30%), Tutorial presentation (10%) and final exam (60%)
Submission
Submission instructions will be published on MyUni prior to the start of the semester and also covered during the unit introduction lecture.
Course Grading
Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:
M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme) Grade Mark Description FNS Fail No Submission F 1-49 Fail P 50-64 Pass C 65-74 Credit D 75-84 Distinction HD 85-100 High Distinction CN Continuing NFE No Formal Examination RP Result Pending Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.
Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.
Final results for this course will be made available through .

Student Feedback
The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.
SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness
Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
