| Summary of Module |
|---|
This module brings together the technological problem-solving savvy of engineering and the organizational, and planning abilities of management in order to oversee the operational performance of complex engineering driven enterprises.
This module provides students with an introduction to management and organisation; to new product development, the design process and Design for Manufacture (DFM). Applications for Continuous Improvement techniques and quality initiatives:-Kaisen, QFD, six sigma and Lean.
During the course of this module students will develop their UWS Graduate Attributes (https://www.uws.ac.uk/current-students/your-graduate-attributes/ ). Universal: Academic attributes - critical thinking and analytical & inquiring mind; Work-Ready: Academic attributes - knowledge of DFM and LEAN manufacturing and relevant operational management skills; Successful : autonomous, driven and resilient.
- Design for Manufacture: designing a part, assembly or process to be more effective,better quality and meeting schedule requirements. utilizing DFM methods to ensure quality, reduce delivery lead-time and provide a reduction in the product cost.
- Process Improvement : Applications for Continuous Improvement techniques and quality initiatives,Lean production techniques to the design of production systems

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.
