OVERVIEW

Integrated Product Support (IPS) is a uniform, iterative and integrated approach to the management and activities required for: engineering/design specifications, operation, maintenance, material requirements and training of a product, throughout its life cycle.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By means of theoretical bases and project-based learning, devise methodologies for developing an Integrated Product Support project. Starting from the definition of the functional breakdown, through the definition of maintenance and operational policies, develop the main related logistic studies to design the engineering processes for the operational support of a complex system

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

IPS & LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT
The main purpose of the course is to provide, through theoretical foundations and project-based learning, the knowledge of the methodologies necessary for the development of an Integrated Product Support project.

Starting from the definition of the functional breakdown and associated logistic studies of a complex system, apply the specifications to structure and produce the logistic data according to the standard.

The theoretical-practical laboratory aims to enable the student to acquire basic knowledge on the specifications and production processes of logistics data.
Attendance and active participation in lectures/laboratory activities together with individual study will allow the student to:
- know the process and the specifications applied to the Integrated Product Support activities of a complex system during its life cycle.
- apply rules and concepts designed to structure logistic data and understand their integration.
- acquire correct technical terminology to describe methods, processes and rules for the production of logistic data.

PREREQUISITES

No particular prerequisites required

TEACHING METHODS

The course consists of 12 lessons, of 4 hours each, where laboratory parts are included, for a total of 48 hours.
The laboratory activities will alternate with the theoretical part putting into practice the concepts studied.
There are no group laboratory activities, each student will work individually on his own personal project.

EXAMS

EXAM DESCRIPTION

The exam consists of a single oral part of about 30 minutes consisting only of open questions.
There will be 3 exam dates available for the summer session (June, July and September).
Extraordinary exam sessions will not be granted outside the periods indicated in the study course regulations, with the exception of out-of-course students.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The oral exam will focus exclusively on the topics covered during the lessons and will aim to evaluate the achievement of an adequate level of knowledge by the student.
