The course is focused on quality and sustainability in production facilities accordingly to technology development, design and management. Industry 4.0 paradigm will be the base of the course with internal and external perspectives on the main performance dimensions such as productivity, quality, reliability, flexibility as well as social, economical, and environmental aspects. Interaction with smart safety topics and cyber security will be also provided.
The course is aimed at studying quality and sustainability in production units and in the technology development, design, and applications. After an initial classification of the general problem, the course will review in depth issues related to industrial production of a product used as an example and integrity control methodologies. The course topics involve activities in the areas of: innovative technologies in industrial and transports uses, environmental aspects in production, new materials development, and processes management for sustainability
