Start early…

  8. Project Calendar and Grading • By March 5th 17:00: E-mail the names of group members (5% of total grade) • By April 16th 17:00: Progress meeting with your assigned TA (25% of total grade). You should bring the following two files with you: • A two-page proposal explaining your proposed solution methodology. • A preliminary MS Excel file that you plan to use. • By May 11th, 17:00: Submit the following to your TA: • MS Excel file containing your model (30% of total grade). • Project report (25% of total grade). Check the format requirements. The report should explain your solution methodology, assumptions and results with references to the MS Excel file you submit. • 50% penalty if delivered past 24 hours of the deadline. 100% penalty if later. • May 12-13-14th: Post-submission oral exam by the TAs (15% of total grade) • You may fail in the project (or, in the course) if you cannot explain your project work.

  9.

  11. Course Goals • The objective of MS401 is to prepare students for manufacturing practice and/or research through an advanced treatment of concepts and methods for manufacturing planning and control • The outcomes expected from MS401 are: • an understanding of the various subsystems of a modern manufacturing planning and control (MPC) system and their interrelationships • a comprehension of the fundamentals of inventory management • an in-depth understanding of MRP and JIT concepts and techniques • an awareness of current practice and research issues in manufacturing planning and control

  12. Course Outline

  13. Why Learn MS 401 Material? • Highly related to real-world applications • Presents the terminology, the jargon of production planning and control • Good to know even if you will not work in production area • Provides the foundation to understand popular subjects such as supply chain management • will be mentioned at the end of the course • Good for your summer internship

  14. Operations Management

  15. Operations Management • Operations management: Managing all activities related to producing • goods (manufacturing, assembly) • our focus in this course • services (healthcare, transportation, retailing) • “Operations” is a function of the firm • main functions: operations, finance, marketing • if the firm were a car, operations would be its engine

  16. Scope of Operations Management • Imagine that you have just invented “iPod”. You want to produce and sell your new product… • What kind of issues you need to think about?

  17. Why Study Operations ? • A company’s operations function is either a competitive weapon or a corporate millstone. It is seldom neutral. Skinner • 1980s: Japanese invasion of the US market • weapon: operations strategy • American firms focused mostly on marketing & finance • Understanding operations management gives YOU a competitive advantage

  18. Operations Strategy • Firms compete along… Operations Strategy: Positioning the firm along these dimensions Operations Management: Implementation of operations strategy to achieve competitive advantage

  19. Why Consider Manufacturing? • In the US: Manufacturing is in decline • Turkey has been moving towards a being a “manufacturing base” for the European Union
