CONTENT

Mathematical and computer methods for planning and control in production and distribution systems; overview of supply chain management; forecasting; aggregate production planning; inventory replenishment policies; lot sizing; material and capacity requirements planning.

OBJECTIVE

Prepare students for manufacturing practice and/or research through an advanced treatment of concepts and methods for manufacturing planning and control.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

  • Describe the major steps in the manufacturing planning and control (MPC) hierarchy (including APP, MPS and MRP), and their relationships
  • Develop demand forecasting models using time series methods
  • Apply the fundamental inventory management models (including the EOQ, newsvendor, (Q,R) and (s,S) models) to relevant problems
  • Relate industrial engineering and operations research methods obtained in previous courses to production planning and control domain
  • Formulate and solve production planning problems
  • Implement forecasting and inventory management models and heuristics using optimization solvers and programming languages.
