Course description |
|
The operation of a production system is analyzed in this course, with particular attention to performance evaluation, identifying the dependency with endogenous and exogenous factors, controllable and non-controllable. They discuss the main issues of a production process related to planning and control of production, from procurement phase to that of materials management through the main quantitative techniques. |

Objectives |
|
The course aims to provide students with the knowledge and basic tools to address the issues that relate to the operation and management of production systems. |

Program |
|
The design of production systems: classical criteria and innovative techniques based on LEAN. Classification of production systems. The performance of production systems: the cycle time, the production capacity, the Lead Time and the response time; stocks and Work in Process. The techniques and algorithms for the management of materials: the model of Wilson or EOQ; models with quantity discounts; management techniques and fixed-cycle fixed point of reorganization. The models of aggregate production planning. The formulation of the master production schedule. The planning requirements of materials: techniques and models MRP. The techniques of operational planning of production. The exercises will focus on issues that affect the performance of both the programming of the medium-term operational production: in particular, will be dealt with problems of definition of Production Plans within the constraints of available capacity; issues related to the MRP and those that relate to the scheduling techniques in operational programming, through the use of models and algorithms basic operational research. |
