Dimensional measurement is associated with measurement of the SI base unit of length (metre), from simple 1-dimensional measurements (1-D) to more complex assessment involving measurements of 3-dimensional (3-D) workpieces using a Coordinate Measurement Machine (CMM). In a manufacturing environment, how these part and assembly features are defined, toleranced and measured affects the build integrity of the product and fundamentally the experience of the end-user. Therefore, how product geometry is managed within a business is directly related to the success of the company. This module aims to apply geometric principles in the design or optimisation of the manufacturing process and directly relate these activities to the needs of the end user. It provides value to an Engineering Business across all departments including Research & Development, Product Design, Manufacturing Engineering, Manufacturing and Supplier Improvement Teams.

FTMSc 18/19 Business Model Generation
The course has been modified for 2018-19 by reducing formal lectures, and turning it into a five day business model sprint. The formal lecture notes are all available online and should be read, ideally before course start or each day before those topics are addressed in class.
A new workbook has been created which will be printed and provided to participants. This contains guidance and templates to work through during the week (as part of a team) creating viable business models for a business opportunity.
There is a pitch to be done on Friday afternoon to a panel (and the rest of the class) based on the work undertaken during the week. This carries a 10% mark towards the Final assessment for the module.
The course post module work requires the student to generate a new idea and systematically work through the analysis and development of a viable business model. It is suggested that this may be a good way to start thinking about your main course project. The PMW is worth 90%.
The Business Model focuses on developing the operational processes of a new business in a systems orientated manner. This module will describe, demonstrate and practice the use of Business Models and Business Model tools in creating, describing and analysing new business proposals. It will allow students to understand the key operational aspects of a new business and the relationships between them and compare their model with that of possible competitors.
