After a short recession period, the Aeronautical industry market is facing a rapid and continuous increase worldwide as shown by the record-breaking contracts recently signed by both Airbus and Boeing. These two industry leaders forecast an increase of close to 5% in activity over the next years and estimations indicate that the annual increase of large commercial airplanes will induce a doubling of the number of aircraft by 2030.

Nearly sixty percent of the turnover is subcontracted all over the world and concerns mostly production and manufacturing activities. As a consequence, most aeronautical subcontracting companies will have to increase their production rates but also to keep up to date with technological changes; moving from metallic processes toward composite materials processes. Moreover, the aircraft manufacturers have changed their supply chain structure in the last years, and subcontractors are now required to manage more complex parts and to take over, on their own, the qualification processes....

Globalization and technology development advance rapidly. In a global market, companies have to balance the ability to create and design innovative solutions as well as the ability to exploit them. Industry-based companies demand strategy-oriented personnel with a solid technological basis on the one side and an entrepreneurial attitude on the other. To meet the growing challenges and opportunities in a globalized economy, the need for leaders with international perspective increases

Rather than focusing on business administration, Global Production Engineering (GPE) enables engineers to create systematic technological innovation combined with efficient and effective industrial business management.... [-]

Master in Manufacturing Management is a program to enhance student's capability through industry collaboration, problem-based learning, collaborative learning, and experience sharing sessions.

The program is designed primarily for graduates who would like to pursue their career in management particularly in manufacturing field. Hence, the program aims to provide the advanced knowledge and capability in dealing with complex management challenges in modern manufacturing industries.

Today's global marketplace requires a new type of manager-leader: one able to fuse strategic business practices with cutting-edge technology. The Master of Management and Manufacturing Program offers an unparalleled opportunity to master these critical skills and prepare for a lifetime of professional achievement. MMM is a two-year dual degree program of the Kellogg School of Management and the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University.The MMM program offers many advantages:

The Master of Engineering Leadership (MEL) in Advanced Materials Manufacturing is an intensive one-year degree program for engineers who want to advance their careers in the automotive, aerospace and manufacturing sectors.

Experts in advanced materials manufacturing are instrumental to the research, development, testing and optimization of new multi-material manufacturing solutions to lighten cars and planes and reduce their environmental footprint. This is a rapidly evolving field and the growing need across multiple industries for those technical experts make participants of the program highly sought after.

Develop the fundamental skills needed for global excellence in manufacturing and competitiveness with the Principles of Manufacturing MicroMasters Credential, designed and delivered by MIT’s #1-world ranked Mechanical Engineering department.

This program provides students with a fundamental basis for understanding and controlling rate, quality and costs in a manufacturing enterprise.

The Principles of Manufacturing are a set of elements common to all manufacturing industries that revolve around the concepts of flow and variations. These principles have emerged from working closely with manufacturing industries at both the research and operational levels.

Targeted towards graduate-level engineers, product designers, and technology developers with an interest in a career in advanced manufacturing, the program will help learners understand and apply these principles to product and process design, factory, and supply chain design, and factory operations....
