Objectives and contents of the course
The course deals with the topics of configuration and management of production systems. The first part of the course introduces a taxonomy of the most common production system, together with a model to assess manufacturing performances and operating conditions. Then, the topics of configuration, sizing, buffering of production flow are presented, with a special concern on process industry, manufacturing and assembly systems. The second part deals with the production planning and control process of production systems. Techniques, models and tools are presented for the various planning phases of: demand forecasting, aggregate production planning, stock management, material requirements planning and production scheduling. A special issue on Japanese manufacturing technique is also included.
Description of contents
Introduction: types of production systems, profiles of classification of production systems,
Performances: The performance of the production processes. Performance effectiveness (quality and service) and efficiency (productivity and flexibility). The measurement of the production capacity and its increase by means of buffers. The lead time and Little's Law. Application cases.
Production process: The configuration of production systems for the process production. Principles of sizing, choices of centralization and decentralization, interaction with management variables. Application cases.
Manufacture: The configuration of plants for parts manufacturing. Principles of sizing and advanced techniques. The group technology method. Application cases.
Assembly: The configuration of assembly systems. Principles of sizing in cases of automatic and manual assembly. Application cases.
Production management: Introduction to production management. objectives, constraints, decision variables, significant costs for decisions. The phases of the process of planning and production control.
Demand analysis and forecasting: The demand forecast. Examples of models and forecasting techniques. Case studies.
MPS: Aggregate production planning. Examples of optimization models and solution techniques. Case studies.
MRP: The materials planning. Push approaches: the technique MRP. Pull approaches: stock management techniques: areas of application. Application cases.
Scheduling: The operational planning of production: performance measurements, and reference models for the main production contexts. Application cases.
JIT: The Japanese production techniques: the JIT, kanban and the philosophy of Kaizen.
