Our department has the following Specialization Courses: Production Management, ICT in management prod./log; Production Management, Production Management classic/modern quality philosophy; RAMS Maintenance Management, RAMS risk and safety; Computational Intelligence and advanced robotics; Optimization of manufacturing processes. Students from the master program in subsea technology may spesialize in risk analysis. This topic has the same content as TPK5160 Risk analysis (7,5 points), and the students must therefore follow the lectures in this course.
