Objectives

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental principles of operation of factories and means of planning and control for discrete manufacturing systems. Will be addressed in more detail the Lean systems and its implementation following the "Total Flow Management" Kaizen Institute model. Students will obtain skills to design and operate effectively discrete production systems.

Learning outcomes and competences

Understand the importance of GP for competitive advantage; Knowing methods to deal with problems of organizing production.

Students will better understand the basic laws governing the production systems, allowing to implement improvements in existing facilities or design new systems based on effective solutions.

The use of simulations during the practical sessions provide experience in solving production problems.

Teaching methods and learning activities

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 simulators. Computers, "data show" and whiteboard are used as supporting tools for learning.
