| 1021969 | INDUSTRIAL PLANTS [ING-IND/17] [ITA] | 3rd | 1st | 9 |
Educational objectives Premise
Industrial plants are production systems characterized by a degree of complexity, tailored to the needs of a user (industrial company) in order to pursue economic goals.
Within an industrial plant, several technical components can be identified, essentially related to the production of industrial activities (production plants) and to the realization of all the services necessary for the operation of the plant (service facilities) .
Today's productive economic environment, in which industrial plants find use, requires some reflection in order to fully appreciate the needs of industrial companies and hence the role of the plant engineer.
In recent years, there have been significant economic and social changes, largely linked to the extraordinary technological progress that has characterized in particular the past of the last century and which have led to phenomena that have profoundly changed the markets. Among others, the following are particularly important and characterized by a sufficient degree of generality:
- the increase in the quantity and quality of information available to both suppliers and consumers;
- the expansion of markets, namely the so-called globalization;
- the increase in consumption;
- the enhancement of the quality of life.
These circumstances, in turn, have determined, from the point of view of the design and management of industrial plants:
- rationalization requirements;
- ability to satisfy ever more particular and changing needs;
- increase of competitiveness and competition;
- Increasing management needs compared with operating and executive requirements.
All this in a context that, due to the need to meet the new market perspectives and to renewed social and environmental sensitivity, is gradually becoming more interested in issues such as:
(A) Sustainable development (which in general terms translates into issues of rational use of energy, conservation / maintenance and security),
(B) the economic efficiency of production activities and
C) satisfaction of stakeholders (which translates into quality issues).
From a socio-economic point of view, the formation of new Political Entities (European Union) and of the new World Trade Organization (OCT) are also being formed. These include, inter alia, the definition of new rules aimed at homogenization Of technical and commercial behaviors:
- international voluntary standards on the management of productive activities;
- harmonized standards;
- directives of the "new approach".
Ultimately, processes such as European integration and, at a wider scale, globalization of markets, as well as creating new competitive conditions (all stakeholders), bring companies to more and more aggressive competitors, Coming from different economic realities. The tightening of business competition thus greatly enhances the importance of effectively combining customer satisfaction and cost containment, which can now be considered as the two core principles to be followed for the development of Any productive system economically and financially sound.
Educational goals
In view of the premise, the course of Industrial Plants aims to:
(A) provide basic knowledge of Industrial Facilities (identification, classification, description of the main elements);
B) provide elements related to the design and management of industrial plants
