Objectives

Syftet med denna kurs är att utveckla förståelse och kompetens inom analys och utvärdering av produktionssystem, samt dataanalys och artificiell intelligens relaterad till virtuell produktion.

Learning outcomes

After completion of the course the student should be able to: 
1. Perform sensitivity analysis on different production systems using models 
2. Analyze and evaluate the performance of production systems 
3. Utilize artificial intelligence for modelling production systems 

Course content

- Model development, scenario analysis and evaluation using industrial software  
- Sensitivity analysis and bottleneck identification 
- AI methods and applications 
- Post-processing of results

Specific requirements

60 credits in mechanical engineering, production engineering, product and process development, computer engineering and/or computer science or equivalent or 40 credits in engineering/technology and at least 2 years of work experience in full-time from a relevant area within industry. 

Examination

Individual Assignment (INL1), 0.5 credits, examines learning outcomes 1-3, marks Fail (U) or Pass (G) 
Project (PRO1), 2 credits, examines learning outcomes 1-3, marks Fail (U) or Pass (G) 

A student who has a certificate from MDU regarding a disability has the opportunity to submit a request for supportive measures during written examinations or other forms of examination, in accordance with the Rules and Regulations for Examinations at First-cycle and Second-cycle Level at Mälardalen University (2020/1655). It is the examiner who takes decisions on any supportive measures, based on what kind of certificate is issued, and in that case which measures are to be applied.

Suspicions of attempting to deceive in examinations (cheating) are reported to the Vice-Chancellor, in accordance with the Higher Education Ordinance, and are examined by the University’s Disciplinary Board. If the Disciplinary Board considers the student to be guilty of a disciplinary offence, the Board will take a decision on disciplinary action, which will be a warning or suspension.
