Course description and aims

Production management involves the integration of numerous operations or activities and processes to produce goods and services in a highly competitive global environment. This course focuses on theory and practice of production management with an emphasis on solving problems in industrial engineering and management. Topics include historical view of production paradigm, production control, inventory management (economic order quantity; EOQ, safety stock, multi-echelon stock), production scheduling, delivery scheduling, project scheduling, theory of constraints; TOC, supply chain management; SCM and customer value.
This course intend to learn fundamental knowledges and skills to achieve efficient and effective management systems.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to understand:
(1) the basic concepts of production paradigms in production management
(2) the production planning and inventory management
(3) the various scheduling methodology (production, delivery, project) and how to implement them
(4) the concept of total optimization, theory of constraints;TOC and supply chain management;SCM

Keywords

Production Planning, Inventory Management, Scheduling, Project Management, Theory of Constraints, Supply Chain Management, Customer Satisfaction

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Give a lecture on each topic and give some exercise problems. Solutions for the exercise problems are also reviewed.
