After a successful course, the student shall:

- display knowledge of a product development process and its structure and content
- display knowledge of ways of work, methods, tools used during development of products to analyze and improve a product's manufacturability and cost
- display knowledge of factors that affect integration between product development and production in relation to development of new products
- display knowledge of various ways to address sustainability during development of new products

- demonstrate the ability to apply methods and tools to strengthen the integration among different organisational functions such as product development and production
- demonstrate the ability to analyze and improve new products from a manufacturing and assembly point of view
- demonstrate how product architecture can affect production
- demonstrate the ability to plan and, with appropriate methods, tools, and work approaches, carry out complex tasks within given frameworks.

The course contains a holistic perspective on a product development with a special focus on the integration between product and production. The course considers methods and tools to support work at the interface between product and production development. The course contains methods to support creativity in product and production development, as well as takes into account analysis and improvement of a product from a cost, quality, manufacturability, assembly and sustainability point of view.
