Subject matter
1. Introduction to labor legislation
2. Discussion of different technologies installed in industrial units: process, bulk, batch and unitary.3. Time study, as a tool for the evaluation and optimization of industrials activities: the time study methodology. Operator activity factor. Activity allowances. Observed, normal and standard time.4. Man-machine cycles, as a methodology of work cycle evaluation, involving operator - equipment interaction.5. Operators pluriocupation, as a methodology of work cycle evaluation, involving the interaction between an operator and several equipments.6. Predetermined Time Systems, as a methodology of microscopic evaluation of upper limb movements: MTM-1 system
7. Line production flow, regarding the competitive advantage in relation to other forms of production flow; cycle time, frequency, idle time and operations synchronization; line dimensioning techniques and performance evaluation.
8. Cell production flow: competitive advantage and strategic objectives related to its implementation; automatic, semi- automatic and intensive manual work cells; dimensioning techniques.
9. Human Factors in industrial production: task dimensioning and the implications in workers psychological state; workstation redimensioning techniques; individual workstations and work groups; different functional structures at operational level and its connection to vertical and horizontal differentiation, and to communication effectiveness.
10. Process mapping of industrial or service processes

Teaching method
7 – Production cells Simulation
Evaluation method
(1) The students have to attend two quizzes (2) The average ratings of the two quizzes should be greater than 9.5; (3) If the average of he quizzes is less than 9.5, the student must carry out a final examination; (4) it is carried out lab work for evaluation; (5) the lab work is done in groups of 3-4 students; (6) rating below 9.5 in the labs confers no frequency to discipline, the student must register for the next academic year; (7) for the calculation of the final grade in the course, the average grade of the quizzes has a weighting of 70% and 30% for the lab work, (8) The class attendance is optional, without attendance control.
