Cranfield University is offering MSc by research studentship
for UK and EU applicants. This studentship will cover the tuition fees
and provide a bursary of up to £14,000 p.a for one year. Student must
have a First or Second Class UK honors degree, or equivalent degree in
the field of manufacturing and mechanical engineering.
About Scholarship: Cranfield University has an exciting research opportunity with a large agricultural and construction equipment company. The successful applicant will aim to gather and analyze product data to develop an accurate product cost model than can be used by Finance, Sales, Engineering and Product Management. Linear Regression Cost Models are key building blocks for developing family cost templates and whole Machine Cost Models.
The LRCM’s (Linear Regression Cost Models) should be generic but specific to relevant product variables defined by Engineering, Sales and VOC (Voice of Customer). A tool to show cost impact of these product variables and the inter relationships with each other, expressed as total cost is key to best overall design concept.
Development of cost model with a user friendly easy slide bar interface with real time output based on key product specification user parameters will provide our partner with the engineering and commercial leadership necessary to succeed and grow in the product marketplace.
The overall project objectives are to: Conduct comprehensive literature to identify the elements of Equipment Product Cost. Identify the key design variables and their relations to geometric features. Identify and relate the key product variables to design variables and express their relationships in terms of cost to produce LRCM’s build the product cost model from statistical analysis of historical data Deal with uncertainty in manufacturing information Quantify the risk attached due to uncertainties through Monte-Carlo analysis.
It will be of high-fidelity, capable in dealing with design and product definitions. The successful candidate will be based between the manufacturing and materials department at the Cranfield campus and our partner’s facility which is an hour away from Cranfield.
Study: The studentship is awarded in developing a parametric cost model for design and manufacturing of agricultural and construction equipment in UK.
Course Level: Studentship is for pursuing MSc by research level at Cranfield University in UK.
Scholarship by: Industrially sponsored studentship
Location: UK
Eligibility: Applicants should have a First or Second Class UK honors degree, or equivalent, in a relevant discipline such manufacturing and mechanical engineering. Strong manufacturing/cost engineering knowledge, good interpersonal and communication skills and computer literacy are also required.
Scholarship Open for: UK/EU students are eligible for this research studentship.
Duration: 1 year
Value: Supported by our partner, this studentship will cover the tuition fees and provide a bursary of up to £14,000 p.a for one year. Due to funding restrictions this studentship is for UK/EU students only. All non-EU nationals are very unlikely to be eligible for this funding under the Education (Fees and Awards) Regulations 1997.
Apply: Online
Deadline: 15 October 2013
