To give basic notions of quantitative approaches used to solve production management problems. To introduce fundamental problems encountered in production management and some methods to solve them.
At the end of this course, students will be able to formulate and solve the following problems:
- scheduling in specialized workshops,
- inventory management (by order or calendar point),
- component requirements planning (MRP),
- just-in-time planning (Kanban method),
- project management,
- design of a production center.
Production management includes conception, planning and control of all the activities that compose the production process of goods or services. This course includes an intoduction to the basic concepts of production management placed in a hierarchical decisions context. Questions of operational level (workshop scheduling, stock management), tactical level (mid-term planning, MRP and just in time) and of strategic / long term level (conception of a new product, of a new facility) will be successively studied. The last part of the course present two techniques of Operations Research used to solve these problems : linear programming and integer programming.
