Learning Goals
By the end of the course students will be able to recognise the importance of process relative to:
1. decision making regarding options for manufacturing processes (built to print vs built to spec) vs. life cycle
2. industrialization organization
3. integration of aeronautical standards (including ispec 2200) in the industrialization and series production process and adoption of system engineering
4. the interconnection between the detailed design of components and the process related to industrialisation and series production
5. the adoption of management based on the concept of recurring and non-recurring costs.
6. to the engineering, logistics, quality and operations components that integrate industrialization and series production;
7. the use of ERP systems in aeronautical and aerospace production
8. aircraft modification in the context of production capacity and regulation
9. the technological options for producing components for simple parts up to assembling superior assemblies.

Teaching Methods
The development of content will be carried out through theoretical classes and monographs on topics related to the course. The monographs are compulsory.
Assessment
The grades are within the interval [0,20].
Continuous assessment or by final exam, in accordance with the Academic Regulations of the University of Évora.
The assessment is done in the following moments:
Score obtained in the Monograph (SM);
Score obtained in the test (ST);
Score obtained in the final Examination (SE);
The final score (FS) of this unit is calculated based on :
FS = 0,4×SM + 0,6 x ST
Or
FS = 0,4 x SM + 0,6 x SE
Final classification for approval must be equal or greater than 9.5/20;
Classification obtained in Examination prevails over classification of test for students who obtained approval in evaluation through Test.
