Product Realization Network at Stanford

The PRN Certificate in

Product Creation and Innovative Manufacturing

The Product Realization Network at Stanford (formerly AIM) is a continuous learning community of industrial professionals, academics, and students, passionate about the making of real things that improve people’s lives.

Through the Stanford Center for Professional Development (SCPD), PRN offers a certificate in Product Creation and Innovative Manufacturing designed to provide Stanford graduate students and industry professionals with a combination of engineering and business expertise needed to launch, manufacture, and distribute new products. It ensures students will have an understanding of three essential areas:

• Methods and Processes - what makes a manufacturing process "tick" and how to develop new products with manufacturing technology in mind,

• Management and Strategy - how to plan and execute a successful product launch and manage production systems,
  
• Economic Modeling and Finance - how to estimate costs and manage finances associated with product creation and execution.
