Course Objectives	The essence of industrial wealth generation is the profitable manufacture and marketing of products and processes. The manufacturing environment has to continuously adapt to the ever more discerning expectations of customers and to meet increasing competition. There is a need to exploit developing technologies, advanced manufacturing processes and computer based techniques with efficient operation and effective management. Furthermore, modern manufacturing systems must integrate a wide range of methods, technologies, equipment and people in a flexible manner to accommodate the rates of change to be anticipated. This course will take a detailed look at most of the Advanced Manufacturing Techniques that have emerged to achieve higher quality and productivity.
