Course section 8.1: Subsections and their intended learning outcomes

8.1 Characteristics of the Process Industry
Intended learning outcomes: Explain divergent product structures and by-products. Describe high-volume line production, flow resources and inflexible facilities. Produce an overview on large batches, lot traceability, and loops in the order structure.
8.1.1 Divergent Product Structures, Primary Products, By-Products, and Waste Products
Intended learning outcomes: Differentiate between primary product, by-product, and waste product. Explain the manufacture of by-products in chemical production.
8.1.1b Manufacture of By-Products in Mechanical Production: Sheet Metal Working
Intended learning outcomes: Describe the manufacture of by-products in sheet metal working.
8.1.1c Manufacture of By-Products in Mechanical Production: Collets from a Steel Cylinder and Temporary Assembly
Intended learning outcomes: Disclose the production of collets from a steel cylinder as well as the “saucepan and lid” problem linked with temporary assembly.

8.1.2 High-Volume Line Production, Flow Resources, and Inflexible Facilities
Intended learning outcomes: Describe flow resources within a process stage. Explain the need for flexible capability (of the production equipment) in chemical production.
8.1.3 Large Batch Size, Lot Traceability, and Loops in the Order Structure
Intended learning outcomes: Explain the need for lot traceability. Present reasons for loops in the product structure.
