About this course

Manufacturing processes converts raw material to finished product for customer usage. Now a day's customer is the king in the market and needs and desires of customer has increased the varieties and features in products. This has increased the complexities at almost all the stages of manufacturing. In modern manufacturing system it is very important to listen voice of customer and deploy his needs in entire manufacturing system. In modern era of the liberalized economy, we are facing world class competition in our own country. Global industries in the form of advanced manufacturing systems, is compelling Indian industries to reorganize their manufacturing strategies for competing on the dimensions of cost, quality, flexibility and deliverability. Hence it is important for us to understand the various modern-manufacturing systems available today. Recent advance manufacturing system / techniques / electronics devices provide precision machine control compare to conventional machines. With higher accuracy quality and productivity. Objective of leaning this subject is to make aware the students about the advance manufacturing practices/systems being implemented at leading industries across the globe, which ultimately leads to more customer satisfaction in terms of low cost and high quality.
