About the course Mould project management

Increasingly, multiple parties are involved in the realization of moulds, both domestically and internationally. As a decision-maker or final responsible party in this process, project-based working is of great importance to anticipate within these projects. It is also essential that the project meets the specified requirements of quality, functionality, cost, and delivery time. This requires tight planning and optimal coordination with the various participants. Apart from project management, the mould concept is also central, with all aspects from design to trial injection covered in the Mould Project Management course.

Upon completion of this course, you will master all the knowledge and skills necessary to successfully:

  • Participate in a project
  • Lead a mould project
  • Establish a well-thought-out mould construction in all aspects, where product development, tool selection, and the outsourcing phase can be evaluated from multiple perspectives
  • Apply project-based working in managing processes and maintaining contacts with the client and executing parties, both domestically and internationally
