As product lifecycles get shorter and customer demands become more diverse, businesses are pressed to release products faster and more frequently onto the market, considering not only functional requirements but also related services and efficient supply chains. A mismatch between product design and manufacturing causes launch delays and unavoidable increase in costs. Effective design–manufacturing integration and timely communication, however, avoids design rework and achieves better product fit for the manufacturing system. Our courses have been designed to equip those involved in the product lifecycle to take a holistic view and consider requirements of every stage in the design and development of products, their supply chain and manufacture.
An incredibly informative course, that addresses a grossly overlooked subject matter. The course focuses on changing mindsets and improving soft skills that generate barriers to successful reviews.
Alan Sanderson Design Reviews attendee, October 2018
Gain a clear understanding of composite manufacturing processes, how to detect defects, material fatigue, testing of components and the requirements for certification.
View
Better understand manufacturing processes, define repair schemes, tailor properties to improve product design and understand composite material behaviour and post processing finite element results.
An overview of composite manufacturing, including the assessment of defects and damages, and the future of thermoplastic matrix composites and automatic fibre placement.
This course details the various types of testing and how to quantify them in terms of quality and the requirements that must be met for certification.
Face-to-face and virtualImplement practical improvements when bringing new products to market that are on time, at desired cost and to the required quality and standard.
Face-to-face and virtualOptimise supply chain performance using key concepts and principles used in end-to-end supply chain management.
Face-to-face and virtual onlyDevelop the knowledge, understanding and skills required to undertake the value engineering process with a focus on the engineering, product and service sectors.
Face-to-face and virtualAnalyse a combination of traditional views on design for manufacture, service and test with broader principles of lean, responsive supply chain design.
Face-to-face and virtualLearn about the properties of materials, the manufacturing methods available and even create your own 3D printable design.
Face-to-face onlyUnderstand the impact of product engineering decisions on the provision of services and how to implement changes to increase the effectiveness of your own organisation.
Face-to-face and virtualUnderstand how to improve the effectiveness and usefulness of the design review process, by exploring both technical and people aspects of preparing for and carrying out effective design reviews.
Face-to-face and virtualAssess the business case for sustainable design and apply its principles to engineering projects.
Face-to-face onlyUsing a mix of theory and case study examples, examine the factors necessary for innovation to flourish and produce commercially successful products and services.
Learn to translate geometric feature control frames and understand the hierarchy of geometric tolerancing so that you can optimise design decisions that increase quality and reduce cost and delivery times.
Get up to date with the latest version of BS 8888, including the meaning of design intent; how mechanical parts are dimensioned and tolerance within the standard in order to meet design intent.
