Three thesis projects are available in the Industrialisation area:

Proposal 1:
Optimise the layout of the factory where multiple product lines are assembled.

Description:
Study, analysis and design of multiple proposals to improve the layout of the factory where multiple product lines are assembled with the aim of reducing waste.
Objectives:
- Map the current value stream to visually represent the steps, materials and flow of information, with the aim of identifying and eliminating waste and bottlenecks. Improve efficiency and increase value for the customer by providing a shared understanding of the entire value stream.
- Reduce the movement of materials and operators between departments, improving visibility of materials and their progress in assembly;
- Improve the use of space, finding a way to make it defined but equally flexible.
Proposal 2:
Continuous improvement in the assembly process of the punching press.

Description:
With the first phase of industrialisation complete, it is necessary to continue with the process of continuous improvement' of the new Punching Press, with the aim of maximising the efficiency of the project.
Objectives:
- Identify any waste in assembly, material collection and packaging;
- Improve the delivery of materials to the assembly area;
- Implement new equipment to reduce assembly times;
- Streamline the assembly procedure, making it easier to monitor through checklists or control points;
- Evaluate possible 'make or buy' assemblies or identify new assemblies that could be pre-assembled with the aim of reducing throughput times.

Proposal 3:
Continuous improvement in the Laser machine assembly process.

Description:
Once the first phase of industrialisation has been completed, it is necessary to continue the process of continuous improvement' of the new Laser machine, with the aim of maximising the efficiency of the project.
Objectives:
- Identify any waste in assembly, material picking, and packaging;
- Improve the delivery of materials to the assembly area;
- Implement new equipment to reduce assembly times;
- Streamline the assembly procedure, making it easier to monitor through checklists or control points;
- Evaluate possible make or buy' assemblies or identify new assemblies that could be pre-assembled with the aim of reducing lead times.
