Mod Flex Prod, Italy

This has been my first project I did since I graduated. It was an Europen project that was dealing with the developing of a Flexible Manufacturing System (for a complete description see ModFlexProd ). In this project I had the possibility to develop my skills mainly in two areas: Project Management and technical skill. Since the team of the project was made from five different parts (from university to manufactures company) the role that has been asked to my company was to coordinate all the team members to achive the golad of the project. Every three/six months deliverables needed to be completed and sent to the European Community to monitor the progress of the overall project. In the meantime my active role in the project was to understand how different configuration could effect the performance of the Manufacturing System. For this activity I have developed strong skills in modeling dynamic system using three different approaches: petri nets, queuing network and simulation (siman). The first two approaches allow to find a close mathematical solution of a dynamic system, the last one allows to collect different data by running simulation tests. During these activities I started to work a little bit with Java and begin to write my first programs.
