Courses in Production

Production is the stage at which ideas, designs and raw materials are transformed into real products, and costs, quality and delivery times depend on its efficiency. Master's programmes in Production train professionals able to plan, organise and control production processes, in a context that is increasingly automated, digital and attentive to environmental impact.

The programmes include production planning and scheduling, lean production, plant management, maintenance, quality control, inventory management, manufacturing technologies, automation and robotics, Industry 4.0, workplace safety, energy management and continuous improvement. Lessons are enriched by laboratories, company visits and testimonials from production managers of manufacturing companies.

A master's in Production lets you acquire skills in managing flows, reducing waste, optimising cycle times, reading performance indicators, managing department staff and introducing new technologies. You learn to work in a structured way on problems, involve operators in improvement projects and guarantee product safety and quality.

Career opportunities include production manager, department head, production planner, process engineer, plant manager, maintenance manager, lean manager, quality manager and production consultant. Opportunities exist in mechanical, food, chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, furniture and electronics industries, in Italy and abroad.

Italian manufacturing continues to look for professionals able to combine technical competence and leadership ability, especially to support the adoption of digital technologies and more sustainable practices.

A master's in this field is a valid choice both for young engineers and technicians and for professionals who want to grow from an operational role to a coordinating one.

Many programmes include internships at production plants and a thesis on a real company problem, an experience that often represents the first step towards a job offer.
