Design and Control of Production and Manufacturing Systems
To achieve cost-effective, sustainable production/mfg/service systems, a thorough understanding of production system operations and flow is essential. This course focuses on the fundamental understanding of the factors affecting operational performance of production systems. We develop this understanding by discussing the basic models and techniques of inventory control, queuing analysis, job scheduling, and supply networks, and their role in the context of analytics and informatics (A&I).
