Aerospace is a broad field of technological activity. The course will focus on managing an aerospace enterprise with a specialization in aircraft engineering and production operations. Students in this course will work with industrial partners (examples: DeHavilland Aircraft Canada – Q400 Operations – Downsview, Safran Landing Gear Systems – Ajax, and Bombardier Aerospace – Toronto) on live projects applying the theory learned in the course. Upon course completion, the participants will be able to apply the tools and methods of Aerospace Enterprise Management Sciences and will: gain an understanding and appreciation of the principles and applications relevant to management of the Aerospace Business Enterprise; develop skills necessary to effectively analyze and synthesize the issues aerospace companies must address to scale and advance their capabilities in the marketplace; acquire the analytical skills, tools and methods to scale the enterprise including lean design, lean engineering and manufacturing, voice of customer, process management, integrated product development, group technology, concurrent engineering, program management, phase/milestone, agility, knowledge based engineering, expert systems, and ERP for aerospace environments; learn how to design and build a Lean Aerospace Enterprise Management System from order receipt to shipping, commissioning and ongoing customer support; understand how to apply Lean Engineering and Manufacturing systems that are used in aerospace operations; increase their knowledge and broaden their perspective of the aerospace world to which they will contribute their talents as leaders in aerospace business operations; and understand the various engineering career path options available in the aerospace environment.
