Course Description

Manufacturing processes require a knowledge of many disciplines, including

design, process planning, costing, marketing, sales, customer relations, costing,

purchasing, bookkeeping, inventory control, material handling, shipping

and so on. It is unanimously agreed that each discipline in the manufacturing

process must consider the interests of other disciplines. These interests of the

different disciplines may conflict with one another, and a compromise must be

made. The aim of this course is to present to the student a brief description of published production management  methods, their objectives, the means to achieve the objectives, and to assist managers in making a method selection decision.

Course Objectives

1. To introduce manufacturing methods and production managements methods

2. To introduce a classification for production management techniques

3. To introduce tools which is used for effective production.

4. To introduce various production management techniques

Course Learning Outcomes

I. be familiarized with production methods and production management methods

II. be familiarized productivity improvement subjects during manufacturing

III. be familiarized with classification for production management techniques

IV. be familiarized with various production management techniques.
