General description and relevant information In this subject we wil discuss abotu product design, which is the process of deciding on the characteristics and features of a company’s product. We will also learn about process selection, which is the development of the process necessary to produce the designed product. Product design and process selection decisions are typically made simultaneously.
Because of the termination of the course you are studying, this subject is driven by tutorship. For more information, read the professor's meeting timetable.
