Design of Industrial Production Processes
In the module Design of Industrial Production Processes, students deal intensively with the fundamentals and methods of production planning and control. The aim is to be able to characterise and formally model the various areas of decision-making in the design of industrial production processes. This involves, for example, operational issues relating to the planning of production quantities, overtime, stock levels, batch sizes and sequences. The content and methods taught are a good preparation for students aiming for a career in production planning, logistics or supply chain management.
Contents of the module:
- Fundamentals of production planning and control systems
- Consumption-orientated methods for determining requirements
- Multi-period production programme planning
- Dynamic batch size planning
- Planning the sequence and machine utilisation
The module conveys theoretical knowledge in a lecture, which is applied and deepened by means of exercises. At the end of the semester there is a written examination for which bonus points can be collected by completing and submitting additional tasks during the semester. As the course requires elementary knowledge of quantitative methods, it is recommended to attend the course ‘Operations Research’ beforehand or in parallel.
