Course Description
The course aims to analysis of some specific problem areas within the context of planning and scheduling of production activities. Also the course give the information related definition, formulation and available solution procedures for aggregate planning and lot sizing. It includes scheduling in manufacturing systems, scheduling in service systems, design and operation of scheduling systems. Students in this course will learn fundamental problem areas of production planning and control and, the relation between planning and control activities. At the end of this course student will be able to define of Production Planning and Control Concepts, decide forecasting and evaluate the forecasting methods, decide lot size of a single item with deterministic and constant demand, compute total cost of an inventory policy and solve lot sizing problems under resource constraint with multiple items.
