Welcome to the course
Welcome to the Design for Manufacture & Assembly module. This course will last four weeks and will be delivered live via Webex sessions.
This module introduces you to the main principles of Design for Manufacture & Assembly: the methods used to ensure quality standards, reduce delivery lead-time and provide a reduction in product costs. The module will also provide an overview of some of the digital technologies used in manufacturing.
The course will offer a basic foundation in DFMA approaches, and will incorporate case studies relevant to the Naval Ships or wider BAE systems context.
This course is a pilot for BAE Systems and so we welcome any suggestions or feedback at any time; please contact us at cpd@uws.ac.uk.
Welcome to the Digital Manufacturing module.
This module gives participants the opportunity to acquire skills in the use of digital manufacturing methods and their integration with computer aided design (CAD). It provides experience of all the stages of process development in the planning and execution of an advanced engineering manufacturing program. The student will gain experience in the use of appropriate digital tools and techniques to support all of the major decisions made in manufacturing planning including: assembly process validation, ergonomics and human task analysis, line balancing, automation, factory simulation. The course will offer a foundation in Digital Manufacturing approaches, and will incorporate case studies relevant to the Naval Ships or wider BAE systems context.

Welcome to the Manufacturing Systems Engineering module.
This course will last four weeks and will be delivered live via Webex sessions. This module introduces you to modern manufacturing with three areas of emphasis: manufacturing processes, manufacturing systems and manufacturing management. The course exposes you to integration of engineering and management disciplines for determining manufacturing rate, cost, quality and flexibility. Topics includes design for manual and automated work-cells, quality, manufacturing systems, process planning and cell layout, and industrial management.
An introduction to the application of digital technologies will also be given.
The course will offer a foundation in Manufacturing Systems Engineering approaches, and will incorporate case studies relevant to the Naval Ships or wider BAE systems context.
The Project Fundamentals Preparation course provides entry-level training, materials and support for individuals wishing to gain a professional accreditation in project management – whether to embark on a career in the field, or to support project management responsibilities in their current role. The course is perfect for anyone looking to build confidence in this area and acquire practical skills that will easily translate into real world situations.
