Description:
The Production Planning and Control (PPC) course offers an in-depth exploration of the essential principles and practices used to ensure efficient and effective production processes in both manufacturing and service organizations. The course begins with an introduction to PPC, covering its fundamental concepts, definitions, and the critical objectives it aims to achieve. Students will learn about the primary functions of PPC, the various levels at which PPC operates, and the significant benefits and limitations associated with its implementation.The course then delves into process planning, highlighting the factors that influence it and the methods used to carry it out effectively. Students will gain insights into product realization and will learn to determine machine requirements, including detailed examples and calculations to illustrate these concepts practically.Aggregate planning forms a crucial part of this course. Students will be introduced to the objectives of aggregate production planning (APP) and the comprehensive process involved. The course will explore different strategies for meeting demand, including level capacity and chase demand strategies. Quantitative techniques for APP will be discussed, along with examples of pure strategies, level production strategies, chase demand strategies, and mixed strategies.The course also covers capacity planning, focusing on strategic capacity planning and the importance of capacity utilization rate. Students will learn about capacity decisions, the impact of capacity utilization on capacity requirements, and the importance of accurate capacity planning. Measuring capacity, determining the best operating level, and understanding the average unit cost of output will be covered, with specific examples such as the best operating level for a hotel.Additionally, the course will address the concepts of economies and diseconomies of scale, using examples and graphs to illustrate these ideas. Students will explore how economies of scale and operating level curves affect production efficiency and will examine the phenomena of diseconomies of scale and confusion. Practical examples of capacity utilization and steps in capacity planning will provide students with a robust understanding of determining capacity requirements. Finally there are 50 numerical exercises to practise on different scenarios.By the end of this course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively plan and control production processes, apply process planning methods, implement aggregate planning strategies, conduct strategic capacity planning, and analyze the impact of economies and diseconomies of scale. Assessment methods will include quizzes, assignments, case studies, practical examples, and exams to ensure a comprehensive understanding of PPC principles and their application in real-world scenarios. This course is ideal for students and professionals in operations management, manufacturing, and related fields looking to enhance their expertise in production planning and control.
