Course Contents
This course introduces students to the most important planning problems that occur in a manufacturing context. Problems covered in the course include the forecasting of material requirements, the planning of the production program, and the planning of lot sizes. The course does thereby not only address planning problems that occur within individual companies, but also shows how production can be coordinated across multiple stages of a supply chain. Upon completion of the course, students are able to apply the models covered in this course in practical scenarios.
The agenda of the course is as follows:
