Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

The programme is delivered 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so you can combine it with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Siemens Teamcenter, Minitab, PC-DMIS, 3DCS Variation Analyst and SAP S/4HANA, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Testing is studied through real procedures for advanced quality planning in industrialisation, process capability analysis and value stream mapping in low-volume production. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: EN 9100:2018; AQAP 2110; SAE AS9145; SAE AS9102; SAE AS6500; ISO 10007:2017; SAE AS13100; ISO 14001:2015.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of EN 9100:2018, AQAP 2110 and SAE AS9145 applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Siemens Teamcenter, Minitab, PC-DMIS, 3DCS Variation Analyst and SAP S/4HANA, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:The industrialisation of a product, with process design, quality plan, production flow and supply chain plan, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
