Course detail
Computer Aided Production Systems I (CAD/CAM)
FSI-GPI Acad. year: 2016/2017 Winter semester
The aim of the course Computer Support of Production Systems is to provide students with practical knowledge in the field of modern methods for planning and scheduling of a production with the help of simulation methods, AI, CAD/CAM. New methods and approaches are explained by means of examples and by solving industrial problems. The course will familiarise students with the given field and provide them with instructions for solving particular problems. The seminars will focus on solving particular issues raised by the students.

Theory of Production Systems.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Credit requirements: Participation in the seminars and delivery of semester work.
Aims
1. Modern methods for planning and scheduling are discussed. Students gain knowledge required to differentiate various methods for planning and scheduling applied in corporate information systems. 2. Application of simulation in manufacturing – Students prepare a simulation model and with the help of this model solve various capacity, planning and design problems using modern interactive simulation tools.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
