Objectives
By the end of this subject, students will be able to : 1. Have a knowledge and understanding of the key aspect related to automated manufacturing systems. 2. Be aware of the multidisciplinary context of automated production systems. 3. Have the ability to model and analyze manufacturing systems in a computer program whith discrete event simulation programs. 4. Have the ability to search for literature related to a real visit to a production system. 5. Have the ability to combine theory and practice in the programing of the simulation of a manufacturing systems example. 6. Have the ability of working in group to visit a real production system and to relate that visit to the theoretical sessions. 7. Have and understanding about the aspects related to environmental impact and sustainable production, and to relate these aspects with the group work.

Learning activities and methodology
- Theoretical lectures oriented for the acquisition of theoretical knowledge. - Classes of problems in small groups for case studies. - Individual tutorials and students' personal work, aimed at the acquisition of skills related to the subject program. - Laboratory practices: 4 sessions of 1'5 hours. During the lab sessions students will learn to analyze a production process by means of a simulator. Students submit an assignment that will be marked.
