Course specific prerequisites
-Aim
The aim of the course is to give a fundamental understanding of manufacturing planning and control, be familiar with manufacturing planning and control terminology and concepts, and be able to apply some basic models and methods for planning and controlling material flows. Further the course aims to introduce the fundamental principals for Lean production.Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- descibe the production task and the task and goal for production logistics.
- describe the efficiency variables for production logistics.
- describe and analyse different types of production systems.
- apply simpel methods for line balancing and ABC-classification.
- describe and analyze the function of inventory and different ways to classify inventory.
- describe and apply calculation of safety stock and methods for lot sizing.
- describe sales and operation planning, master planning, materials planning, shop floor scheduling, and materials supply.
- describe and apply material- and capacity planning methods and forecasts methods.
- describe important aspects of customer and supplier relationships.
- describe the principles of Lean production.
- describe the Lean tools: 5S, visual management, standardized work, value stream mapping, kanban, SMED, Kaizen, and PDCA.
- describe push and pull principles and systems and generation of push flows.
- apply and analyze the value stream mapping method.
- describe production logistics aspects of circularity and remanufacturing.
