| Syllabus: | The aim of this unit is to provide the skills needed to effectively tackle the range of planning and management decisions that arise in manufacturing systems. A key objective of a manufacturing system is the timely production of products that conform to specifications while minimising costs. Strategic performance measures are cost, quality, flexibility and delivery. Operational efficiency depends on many factors: quality of human resources; location and capacity of plants; choice of technology; organisation of production systems; planning and control systems used for coordinating the day-to-day activities. Planning and management decisions considered include strategic (long-term), tactical (medium-term) and operational (short-term). Models including mixed integer linear programs and dynamic programming are discussed. The nature of the problems faced by a production manager depends on the characteristics of the market that the facility is competing in. Different types of manufacturing systems will be studied, including job-shop flow, batch shop models, flow lines and continuous processes systems. Case studies are used to highlight and expand the understanding and application of the topics discussed in the unit. |
