Course Content

• Topics Covered
• This course deals with tactical problems of production and logistics, namely layout and design.
  Main topics are:
• configuration problems in job shop production (Werkstattproduktion)
  linear assignment problems
  quadratic assignment problems
• configuration problems in cellular manufacturing systems (Inselproduktion)
• configuration problems in flow shop production (Fließfertigung)

simple assembly line balancing problems
mixed model assembly

• configuration of warehouses
• configuration and analysis of flexible manufacturing systems


• Methods used
• the following methods will be presented in the various application areas
• specialized exact methods (e.g.  Kuhn's algorithm)
• generic exact methods Branch and bound
• mathematical programming formulation (LP, IP, MIP, ...) for use in standard solvers
• dedicated starting heuristics
• improvement heuristics, local search
• metaheuristics

Requirements

• mid term exam (35%)
• final exam (35%)
• presentation (20%)
• participation in class (10%): discussion, numerical examples, etc.

Prerequisites

• Prerequisite: appropriate Bachelor degree (with basic knowledge of production and operations management, e.g. "ABWL Produktion & Logistik")
• It is suggested that you take this course only after having taken one of the courses „Operations Management“ (old "Studienplan") or "Transportation Logistics (TL)", "Production Analysis", or "Supply Chain Management" (new "Studienplan")
