Organized by CAD, AMC and EVD
Programme Highlights:
Developing high-performance and
cost-effective products in a tough market condition is one of the biggest
challenges manufacturers face today. Incorporating innovative strategies in the
product development cycle has become inevitable. These strategies include
shortening the development time and producing products that possess competitive
edge in the market.
Competitive Product Design
Manufacturers (PDM) are required to focus more on the preliminary design stages
in order to avoid last moment changes that may consume considerable amount of
development time and cause delay of product launch to market. This requires the
engineers to ensure that the finalized design of the product holds the ability
to sustain in the market without failure for a sufficiently long period of
time.
Modern product designs require the
use of innovative techniques such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as well as
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) that ascertain a better outcome at low
costs. This seminar will touch upon most important tools that help
manufacturers in improving the product designs to stay ahead in the
competition.

Speakers
Eur Ing Dr. C. N. Ko is the CTO of
Kam Yuen Group which designs and manufactures wrist watches, industrial
automation equipment and solutions, optical connectors, infrastructure for data
exchange centres, precision metal parts, environmental friendly metal scrap
recycling machine, XYZ liquid handlers and DNA extractors in the laboratory
industries.
He holds a B.Sc. (First class Hons,
1980), M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Aeronautical Engineering from Imperial College
London. His career spans thirty plus years in design and manufacturing of
industrial products and processes related to technology research and
development, process re-engineering, and general management.
He is a registered European Engineer
(Eur Ing) as well as a Fellow of Hong Kong Institute of Engineers (FHKIE). He
has been teaching Design and Manufacturing, Industrial Applications of Finite
Element Method and Automotive Product Design at The Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology (HKUST) from 1996-present. He was the Adjunct Associate
Professor in the HKUST from 2016 to 2018.
He has worked in various
multinational companies including GEnpact-Asia in Dalian (China) and the
Engineering and Research Centre of SKF (Swedish Ball Bearing Company) in the
Netherlands. In Europe, he spent 14+ years researching on Business Process
Re-engineering (BPR), precision engineering, high-speed Aircraft Bearings,
Automotive and Railway Bearings related products.
After returning to Hong Kong in 1995,
he has worked in several local factories in the Guangdong province in China as
Engineering and Operation directors and also spent some time from 2007 to 2012
as a principal consultant in the Materials Technology Division of HKPC.
He has won several industrial awards
on machinery and process designs both in Hong Kong and overseas such as the SKF
Business Innovation Award in 1995 and the Kam Yuen Award in 2018 on Pioneering
Factory Automation.
Currently, he specializes in
industrial application of applied technologies with emphasis on computational
mechanics on materials, product and process development in China and Hong Kong.
