Expected results and course content Literature Teaching and examination Course evaluationScheduleGroup formation Miscellaneous information Main activitiesRules and Recommendations General rules Each task in the course need to be passed with at least 60% to pass the course. Deliver on time and Respect deadlines as late submission entails an achievement of only a passing grade Individual assignmentsThey need to be done individually reflecting uniqueness and high quality both in content and layout OppositionThe opposition on other groups shall be objective, based on facts, constructive and written. It is also expected to be presented on the seminars for the term paper and project report QuizThey need to be performed individually and NO STUDY MATERIALS ARE ALLOWED TO BE USED except for the ones supplied with the quiz (if needed). Oral ExamThis would be conducted as parts of the oral presentations on the project progress seminar and the project report seminar Tips for some of the tasks

13. Course evaluation: After the course, a formal evaluation will be performed. However, during the course all comments and suggestions are welcome too.

Expected results and course content Literature Teaching and examination Course evaluationScheduleGroup formation Miscellaneous information Academic honesty Cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty are serious offences to the University. In short, it can be defined as the deception of others about one ’ s own work or about the work of another. Regarding plagiarism, the Linnaeus University Library ’ s information material is strongly recommended. Link to English anti-plagiarism tutorial: http://www.bi.hik.se/Refero_eng/1intro.php

19. Course Project Work Project Description The rapid changes in market needs, technology development, etc. affect the effectiveness of existing facilities to achieve the company objectives efficiently. You are requested to describe and analyze the facilities plan for the “case company” with respect to the facilities planning elements, that is to say [facilities location and facilities design (facility systems, layout, and material handling systems)]:

20. Project Description  Describe how was the plant location decision made? And Why?  What factors were used as important criteria in determining the plant location? Which factors should be used?  How many times has the company redesigned its facilities since it started? Why? Why not?  Describe how the plant layout and material handling systems were designed? Who were involved in the design process? Why?

21. Project Description  Is there any productivity problems related to or caused by material handling systems?  Use the material handling productivity audit sheet to identify the potential opportunities of improvements, list the problems and suggest a solution. 2016-09-20

22. Project Tasks  Select one production line  Specify the primary and support activities.  Determine the interrelationships among these activities.  Determine the space requirements.  Generate at least two different facilities plans.  Which one is better? Why?  Compare the selected one with the actual (current) one.

23. Course Project Work Your performance in this project will be judged according to several factors. Report: Report structure. Clarity of writing Building on and relevance to the scientific body of knowledge (At least 10 relevant scientific references should be used). Problem description/construction and depth. Connection theory-practice Analysis and quality of argument Practical implications Final conc1usions Note: The report should be written according to the “Reports instructions” used at the school of engineering. And it should not exceed 20 pages in length; however, some illustrative materials may be attached in appendix.

24. Project presentation  The relevance and depth of the background, problem discussion, problem formulation, purpose, limitations, and research methodology  The utilization of the theory and empirical findings to solve the problem question.  The relevance and quality (depth and practicality) of the presented analysis, results, conclusions and recommendations Project opposition Critical evaluation of other group’s work ( See the “Opposition template for the course project” guideline for the detail )

25. Working in groups you are requested to submit the initial chapters (Chapter 1-3) of your course project paper ( i.e. Introduction, Theory topics to be used, and Empirical findings ) This will be graded as a pass or fail It is expected that you submit a power point file and present your motivations thoroughly for using the different theoretical topics and what your expected results would bring to your case company and how. The content of your presentation slides and your oral presentation will be graded You are required to do an opposition work as well, which will also be graded The (Chapter 1-3) of your course project paper and the power point file should be submitted to the course responsible and the opposition group on the 4 th October before 12:00. Project report progress (chapters 1-3)

26. Group member performance evaluation form (Needs to be submitted at the time when the project report would be submitted)
