"Hierarchical Production Planning"

Lecturer

Dates & Places

  • Tuesday 10:00-12:00 a.m. (Seminar-Room 3, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1)
  • Starting on March 11 , 2014

Study Programs

  • Mag. internationale Betriebswirtschaft (KFK Production Management,  KFK SupplyChain Management, KFK Transportation Logistics)
  • Mag. Betriebswirtschaft (KFK Production Management,  KFK Supply Chain Management, KFK Transportation Logistics)
  • partly also KFK Operations Research
  • QEM - Quantitative Economics Master

Course Content

  • This course (Seminar) will focus on "Hierarchical Production Planning". 
  • Planning problems can be classified as long tern to short trem, or strategic to operational. 
  • Hierarchical Production Planning looks at the different decisions at the various hierarchical levels and invesitgates, how the decisons of a certain level can be used and detailed in the next level
  • The course will focus on reviewing classical (historical) papers, and discuss recent research papers in this area. 

Requirements

  • Regular presence and participation in discussion
  • Literature study
  • Presentation using slides (power Point or PDF)
  • Term paper (Seminararbeit)

Prerequisites

  • This course (Seminar) is intended as the final course in a KFK. Thus, it should only be taken after some other courses in the corresponding area have been successfully completed.
  • The topic is related to "Production Management", but it is not necessary, that the corresponding KFK course has been taken before. 
  • Minimum requirement for admission is
    •  the course „Operations Management“ (very old "Studienplan") or 
    • "Transportation Logistics (TL)", "Production Analysis", or "Supply Chain Management" (current "Studienplan")

Basic Literature 

  • Basic literature:

    Hax, A.C., Meal, H.C. (1975): Hierarchical integration of production planning and scheduling. In: Geisler, M.A. (Ed.), Studies in Management Science, vol. I, Logistics, Elsevier, Amsterdam, pp. 53–69  >> PDF

    Omar, M.K., S. C. Teo, S.C. (2007):  Hierarchical production planning and scheduling in a multi-product, batch process environment,  International Journal of Production Research,
    Vol. 45 (5, March), 1029–1047.      >> PDF


Schedule "Würfelteil"

  • The first part of the course is a so called "Würfelseminar", i.e. certain topics are to be prepared by all participants. Every 10 minutes, say, a different person will be asked (at random -> Würfel) to present the next pages of the underlying literature. The purpose is
        (i) to obtain some common knowledge base by all participants, and 
        (ii) to facilitate discussion.
  • Literature for the "Würfelseminar": see "basic literature" above
  • Tentative schedule: 
  • March 18 , 2014: basic literature: Hax and Meal (1975) - see basic Literature  above 
  • March 25 , 2014:  basic literature: Hax and Meal (1975)  and Omar and Teo (2007)
  • April 1, 2014: basic literature: Omar and Teo (2007)
  • The"Würfelteil" is over now.

Schedule "Spezialteil"

In the second part each group of typically 2 participants will be given a special topic which has to be prepared and presented some weeks later (mainly in January). Also a term paper (Seminararbeit) must be written on this topic.

Schedule:
27.05.2014, 10:00-12:00 Uhr, SE 3 and 13:00-15:00 SE 5
03.06.2014, 10:00-15:00 Uhr, SE 3
17.06.2014, 10:00-13:00 Uhr, SE 3 and 13:00-15:00 SE 5
