    Learning outcomes of the course
    In this course, production refers to manufacturing products for the end customer. The course introduces both traditional and modern manufacturing methods and materials related to them. As the material plays an important role in the price formation, manufacturability and usability of the product, you working as an logistics engineer should have a good understanding of the impact of manufacturing methods and materials on costs.

    In this course you will learn
    - find information on materials and their properties
    - know different materials and manufacturing techniques involved to materials
    - know different layout types and production strategies
    - understand properties of materials and their impact on choices
    - apply materials selection and manufacturing technologies

    After completing this course, you will have a broad understanding of the terminology of the topics covered in the course. You gain knowledge of the various materials, manufacturing technologies and their potential. You will understand how different materials and manufacturing technologies can be used for real applications. You will have the skills and the ability to search for information about different materials and manufacturing technologies.

    Competencies: technological knowledge, engineering practice, communication and team-working.

    Learning outcomes:
    You will understand the terminology of manufacturing technologies, potential of different materials and their importance. You will manage the key concepts and theories of the topics covered in this course and will be able to apply your prior knowledge to the choice of manufacturing technologies and materials.
