Intended learning outcomes

After this course the student should be able to:

understand the relationship between analysis and improvement of manufacturing operations and the value processes of the firm.
use the most common analysis tools and approaches.
use the most common improvement tools and approaches.
use simulation for analysing and improving manufacturing operations.

Course content

Analysing Manufacturing Opreations: Anlayses of lead-time, capacity, material flow, customer and manufacturing orders, delivery service, inventories, informaiton, and from a systems perspective.

Improving Manufacturing Operations: Value-bases process enhancements through improvements in time, cost, fexibility an dquality, with a special focus on setup-time reduction.

Simulation as Support for Analysing and Improving Operations: Relationships among lead-time, capacity, material flow, inventories, orders, delivery service, costs, information, and plannning strategy.

Teaching and working methods

The lectures deal with the theoretical approaches and the seminars and laboratory sessions deal with a project.
