The aim of this course is to provide the students an integrated vision of important concepts, techniques and strategies of the Production Management. One expects that the students acquire a global vision of the concepts, problems and available tools, enabling them to take better decisions. The students are expected to better analyze production situations, recognizing “trade-offs” between Cost, Quality, Time and Flexibility in devising solutions for competitive systems.
Understand the importance of OM to obtain competitive advantages; Know methods to deal with problems faced to manage the production organization.
Students will better understand the connections between Product and Process design, taking in account the production volume and the economic implications of the decisions made at the start of the project.
The use of simulations during the practical sessions and the “digital production simulator” (elective) provides experience in solving production problems.
knowledge of Statistical Distributions (taught in the Course of MIEGI Statistics) and Linear Programming (taught in the Course of MIEGI Operational Research I )
Part 1 - Introductory Concepts :
Introduction to the field of study: Operations Strategy and Competitive Dimensions: Cost, Quality, Time and Flexibility.
Work Measurement and Standards.
Process Analysis.
Facility Layout (including assembly-line balancing).
Production Cells.
TPS (Toyota Production System), with special reference to the techniques of setup-time reduction (SMED) and VSM.
Part 2 - Hierarchical Planning:
Aggregate Sales and Operations Planning.
Master Production Schedule ;
MRP.MRP II ;
Production Lot sizing.
Operations Scheduling; Priority Rules.
Part 3 - Integrated Planning:
Synchronous Manufacturing and Theory of Constraints (Goldratt).
Integrated Production Planning and Scheduling.
The theoretical concepts and techniques will be transmitted using presentations during the lectures, promoting some debate and discussion of issues related to the scope of the course.
The practical application of knowledge will be promoted through exercises, case studies and problem solving in computer simulators. Computers, "data show" and whiteboard are used as supporting tools for learning.
The final case study requires an articulation of the various acquired knowledge in the course and the experimentation of alternative solutions. A written report regarding this case trains structured communication skills. It also promotes the ability to work in teams.

i)Case: 20%. ii)2 Tests (1st test covering the Part 1 of the program; 2nd test covering the Parts 2 and 3 of the program; each 40%): 80% . Minimum note in each Test: 6,0; Average Tests >= 9,0 values in 20. To validate a grade >=18, you must take an oral examination.
2 full days workshop (computer simulation of a plant) is elective and does not contribute for final grade.
A final exam (100%).
It may be made doing both tests, or doing a final exam at the exam season proposed by FEUP (80%) plus the grade obtained at the final case (20%).
