Module Aims
This module will provide the student with detailed understanding of the design, commercial and manufacturing factors required to successfully develop a prototype into a fully manufactured and tested product.
Content Summary
The following will be explored:
The challenge of new product introduction (NPI):
• The design for manufacture & test. The use of simulation & digital tools within NPI and production development. To gain an appreciation for different types of manufacturing systems engineering-automation & simulation.
• Concurrent engineering approach & Life cylce engineering.
Product Specification and Feasibility:
• Standards. Economics and costing. Safety. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product image, reliability and serviceability.
• Links Between Design and Manufacture. From idea to mass production of electronic products, including schematic, layout and testing.
• Design for Testability (DFT), Design for Manufacture (DFM), Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools for production. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
• The dangers of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) and prevention method used within design and manufacture. Environmental & Quality Assurance
• Process identification and modelling. The influence of quality on design, procurement, installation, rework and maintenance. Quality & Environmental Management Techniques / Systems. ISO 9001:2000, ISO14001.
Smart Manufacturing:
• Introduction to Industry 4.0 and Robotics, Basic principles and technologies of a Smart Factory, Digitization and the Manufacturing Enterprise, Criteria for Smart Factories, Leveraging Sensors on the Factory Floor, Customer Order Management, Managing Component Inventory, Materials Management, Sensors at the Dock Door, Inter-facility Shipment Tracking, Sensor-enabled Supplier Networks, Sensors in Aftermarket Services, Adding Sensors to Existing Machinery, Connected Factories in the Cloud.
Manufacturing Systems:
• Statistical Process Control (SPC) Key Performance Indicators (KPI), Just in Time (JIT), Kanban System, Manufacturing Resource Planning, Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
Manufacturing Technologies:
• Printed Circuit Board (PCB) technology and manufacturing techniques. PCB Design Rules, device mounting and packaging. Component handling, sequencing and insertion. ESD management.
• Data analysis-Design of Experiments, product testing, future analysis, problem solving.
• Solder processes, Device types, packaging, Thermal stress. Package placement Testing Strategies
• Selecting a test strategy in relation to product type, volume and mix - JTAG technology. Component, In-circuit, Functional, Environmental and System Testing. Test software generation techniques and costs.
• Methods - Automatic Test Equipment, Flying probe, in-circuit and functional and Xray testing.
Compliance
• Compliance testing and accreditation (CE, E, e mark).
• EMC test procedures, directives, standards, test plans.
