Prerequisites
Production and Operations Management, Manufacturing StrategiesIntended 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 Operations: Analyses of lead-times, capacity, material flow, customer and manufacturing orders, delivery service, inventories, information, and from a systems perspective.
AImproving Manufacturing Operations: Value-based process enhancements through improvements in time, cost, flexibility and quality, with a special focus on setup-time reduction.
Simulation as Support for Analysing and Improving Operations: Relationships among lead-times, capacity, material flow, inventories, orders, delivery service, costs, information, and planning strategy.
Teaching and working methods
The lectures deal with the theoretical approaches and the seminars and laboratory sessions deal with a project.
