CONTENT
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.
PROGRAMME OUTCOMES
