CONTENT

Product/process modeling and analysis; facility site selection and layout; material handling and storage systems; material and information flow; shop floor control systems; manufacturing and assembly cells; flow lines and assembly lines; pull production systems; flexible manufacturing systems.

OBJECTIVE

This course is intended to introduce the students to the design and operation of manufacturing and service facilities. We will present a conceptual description and classification of modern production environments and address major issues faced during the planning and control of their operation. We will focus on the decomposition of the overall production planning and control problem to a number of subproblems, and the development of quantitative techniques and analytical tools for addressing the arising subproblems. The topics include (but are not limited to) assembly lines, sequencing and scheduling, flexible manufacturing systems, group technology and cellular manufacturing, and facilities planning and design.
Although the focus is on manufacturing systems, emphasis will be given to introduce the application of methodologies covered for manufacturing systems to service systems as well. The students are expected to have a solid background operations research.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Studying different production systems and assembly line balancing via modeling and heuristics
  • Designing manufacturing cells by applying group technology
  • Modeling and solving machine scheduling problems
  • Modeling and solving facility layout and location problems
