The manufacture of high performance engines for modern vehicles is a highly complex task and one where major efficiency gains can be achieved through improvements to the manufacturing systems employed in their production. This research will be undertaken in collaboration with the Ford Motor Company's Manufacturing Engineering department where simulation modelling is integral to the decision making process. Ford is continually improving their simulation modelling tools and underlying models to deliver efficiency improvements and allow the evaluation of proposed changes to their manufacturing systems. The successful candidate will spend a portion of his/her time working on the project at the Dunton Engineering and Research Centre, the largest automotive technical centre in the UK, where a new generation of environmentally friendly engines and vehicle technologies are currently being developed. The results of this research will potentially be applicable internationally at other Ford engine manufacturing sites. The PhD candidate will develop multi-disciplinary skills in computer modelling, manufacturing systems, simulation, production line monitoring, and system engineering. During the research programme, there will be opportunities for further training, for travel, and for attendance at national and international conferences. This studentship is supported by an EPSRC Industrial CASE Award. Students receive funding for a full EPSRC studentship for 3.5 years (currently £69,000). The company provides additional top up to the project of a minimum of a third of the EPSRC funding. This top-up is £23,040 over the course of the project. The student is expected to spend at least three months per annum doing research at the Dunton Research Centre, and Ford will pay any travel and subsistence costs. For a fuller introduction to Industrial CASE awards, see http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/funding/students/coll/icase/Pages/intro.aspx Applicants should have, or about to obtain, a good first class or upper second class honours degree in a relevant area of Engineering/Computer Science disciplines.
