Catalog Description

Analysis of the dynamics of production systems. Performance measures in production systems. Comparison of pull and push systems. Impact of uncertainty and variation in production system.

Course Objectives

The goals of this course are to teach the dynamics and effective design of manufacturing and service systems. The course aims to teach the concept of bottlenecks, capacity analysis of production systems, comparison of push and pull systems, and the impact of variability on the performance of production systems. The course also aims to expose students to the complexities of real life applications and teach them how to tackle them with creative and critical thinking. The students are also engaged in self-learning in an advanced topic of the design of production systems.
