Course Objectives This course is designed to develop a basic understanding of major production planning concerns and decision chains, fundamental problem areas in production planning and control, planning hierarchy and the relations with the management activities.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Students will recognize production planning and control-related concepts and terminology.
  • Students will become familiar with the hierarchical nature in analyzing production planning related problems and recognize the importance of applying systems concept.
  • Students will become familiar with mathematical modeling and heuristic approaches to solve production-related problems
  • Students will recognize the need and importance of capacity planning.
Course Content Introduction to production and service systems; forecasting methods; production planning and control in decision making; aggregate production planning; capacity planning; materials requirement planning; scheduling; advanced techniques and approaches in modern production planning and control for designing manufacturing and service systems.
