Lectures

Goal

Surveys the design, development, implementation and management of production planning systems, including master production scheduling, aggregate planning, material requirements planning, capacity and inventory planning and production activity control. Students will be exposed to contemporary approaches such as just-in-time, theory of constraints and the relationship of enterprise-level planning and control systems to the overall materials flow.

Outcome

Students should be able to articulate and apply the following tools and practices of production planning and control: • The elements, processes, and technologies comprising the field of Manufacturing Planning and Control • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) • Material Requirement Planning system technologies • Inventory flow and planning models – JIT, MRP, etc. • Capacity planning • Production Activity Control Techniques • Supply chain optimization, integration and transformation.

Theoretical teaching

• The elements, processes, and technologies comprising the field of Manufacturing Planning and Control • Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) • Material Requirement Planning system technologies • Inventory flow and planning models – JIT, MRP, etc. • Capacity planning • Production Activity Control Techniques • supply chain optimization, integration and transformation.

Practical teaching

This course will enable to student learning by applying the techniques of Production Planning and Control through the project.

Attendance requirement

There are no prerequisites.

Resources
