Manufacturing Technology Program

Professionals, Experts and Managers

A sophisticated manufacturing technology is the basis of all the products of our everyday life. For a high-wage country like Germany it is necessary that high-tech manufacturing processes are constantly being redeveloped or continuously improved. One of the key challenges is to reconcile several requirements:

  • Best possible quality and correspondence of the design specifications
  • As low as possible production costs

In addition to the procedures, production metrology serves to detect possible deviations from requirements, to uncover their cause chains and to initiate remedial measures. Quality management extends this claim in the form of a holistic approach, which focuses on the process as well as the people who work for it and its operational integration.

Your Benefit
