Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is considering basic production planning and inventory management methods and models for understating and solving the quantitative problems, including quality perspective. Production/inventory management is one of the basic functions in a manufacturing environment. Different production systems, product quality, capacity planning, production planning methods and productivity concepts will be examined. This course also aims to describe the usage of the inventory models. The factors that affect the calculation of order quantity and levels, optimum stock levels and inventory classification methods will be explained. Students will learn the factors which results the inventory costs and effective resource usage. Given interim projects aim to progress the presentation and communication skills of the students
