IE-613, Manufacturing Resource Planning. This course presents an integrated financial and operating system information plan for production. Strategies for evaluating various systems including group technology are considered. Design of physical facilities for processing, including site selection, control techniques, and scheduling is considered. This course is intended to provide the student with the tools needed to perform multivariate optimization and analysis.
Matrix algebra is discussed to provide the mathematical foundation.
This course continues to provide the tools needed to perform multivariate optimization and various search techniques, decision making under conditions of uncertainty, probabilistic inventory models, and Markov processes. Methods for evaluating various systems for production are considered. Mathematical models used in site selection, process arrangement, scheduling are considered. Topics include capacity planning, materials requirement, machine capacities, and information systems. This course discusses discrete- event simulation applied to manufacturing environments.
