Textbook

• Production: Planning, Control and Integration by Sipper and Bulfin, McGraw-Hill, 1997 (corrections are available here) - a copy of the book is available at the WiWi Service Center.

Additional Literature

• Factory Physics by Hopp and Spearman, McGraw-Hill, 1996.
• Produktionsmanagement by Günther and Tempelmeier, Springer, 1995.

Course Content and Organization

Aim of the course is to introduce students to problems arising in the management of production processes and make them familiar with traditional and recent approaches to address and solve these problems. Topics to be covered are Aggregate Planning, Capacity and Material Planing, Scheduling and Integrated Production Planning and Control Techniques. There will be three exams. Problem sets will be assigned regularly and the solutions will be discussed during the course. Students are encouraged to present these solutions for credit on their grade. Additionally, 2 mini-cases will be assigned during the course which have to be worked out and turned in by each student.

Grading

• 1st Exam: 25%
• 2nd Exam: 25%
• 3rd Exam: 25%
• Mini-Cases: 10%
• Problems: 15% (for each problem solution presented in class up to 5% credit can be obtained with on overall maximum of 15% and with a maximum of 5% per chapter)
