Course description;
Introduction to production management, forecasting, deterministic and stochastic inventory
control, aggregate planning, production capacity planning, material requirements planning,
shop floor scheduling,
Text book and other resources;
1. Production and Operations Analysis, by S. Nahmias, McGraw-Hill (Text book), 6th
edition.
2. Inventory management, Production planning and Scheduling, by E. Silver, David
Pyke, and R. Peterson, Wiley.
3. Factory Physics by W.J. Hopp and M.L. Spearman, McGraw Hil.
4. Operations Management (10th Edition) by Jay Heizer, Barry Render, Prentice Hall.
5. The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt ( A novel about the life of a production manager)
Course objectives;
1. Acquainting students with the general knowledge on production management
2. To develop the ability of the students to model and solve the problems in the
production planning hierarchy. The details of this ability involves;
a. Construct forecasting models and use them
b. Develop inventory and production control policies under independent demand.
c. Modeling and solving aggregate planning and capacity planning problems
d. Understanding the inputs, the outputs and the implementation of material
requirement planning.
e. Ability to use the scheduling techniques in the shop floor.

Pass/fail line is 40% in grand average.
Unless specified otherwise, assignments will be prepared by groups of two students. Students will
decide the groups themselves. Assignment will be submitted at the beginning of the class on the due
date, no late submission will be allowed. You can change group partner in any assignment.
If copies of the same assignment are submitted, all involved students will get zero on the assignment,
and if the same student is involved in copying homeworks twice s/he will get zero for the homework.
Unless specified otherwise, please do not bring laptops to the classroom. Please put away your mobiles
during classes. If you are late more than 15 min to a class, Please do not enter the classroom.
