| Course Overview |
 |
This graduate level course covers the production management
related problems in manufacturing systems. It blends quantitative and qualitative
material, theoretical and practical perspectives, and thus, bears relevance
for academic as well as industrial pursuits. The introduction consists of
the production and operations management strategy. The topics covered include
simple forecasting methods, workforce planning, inventory control, production
planning, materials requirements planning, operations scheduling, and project
management. Recent developments in production management such as just-in-time
(JIT) inventory systems, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), bottleneck
scheduling, and hierarchical production management systems (HPMS) will also
be discussed.

| Basic Requirements |
|
Basic calculus
Elementary probability and statistics
Notions of Linear Programming
General understanding of the production function

| Required Work and Grading Policy |
|
1. Homework - weekly assignments 20%
2. Project - one progress report, one final report, one presentation 30%. Group projects
will be performed, addressing problems encountered in real-type applications.
Each group will seek an industrial enterprise and will study one of the PPC
problems (see course outline). Recommendations for improving the current situation
should be included in the final report.
3. Exams - one midterm (25%), one final (25%) 50%
Note: (+/- Grading scheme will be employed)
