| Aim: The objective of the course is to provide deeper knowledge in manufacturing management. Special attention is paid to the holistic view of manufacturing, the understanding of different planning systems and their applications and the use of quantitative techniques. After taking this course, the student should be able to formulate, analyse and solve manufacturing planning and control problems. Both theoretical and practical aspects are treated as well as strategic and operational issues. |
