Teaching Period (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
III (Spring 2017)
Learning Outcomes (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
After the course the student:
- Knows the basics of manufacturing systems and process modelling using queuing theoretical, mathematical programming (optimization), and data modelling (linear regression, neural networks) approaches.
- Knows basic concepts of production planning and control and is familiar with the practical approaches and more theoretical analysis methods related to them.
- Is able to do basic modelling of manufacturing systems, especially in the context of production planning and control, using the am. methods with the following software: Microsoft Excel Solver and OPL/CPLEX (optimization) and Matlab (data modelling).
- Is able to do systematic experimentation with the am. models and interpret the results.
- Is able to participate in an industrial scale development project that utilizes the am. methods.
Content (valid 01.08.2018-31.07.2020):
The following methods are studied: queuing networks, optimization, regression analysis, and neural networks. The application of the methods to production systems planning and control: Hierarchical production planning, cost functions, Little's law, scheduling, lot sizes and set-ups, capacity planning, aggregate planning, facility location. The basics of the methods and software are learned in guided tutorials (computer classes) and exercises (assignments).
