Teaching Methodologies
Classes will have theoretical and practical components, by exposing
the subjects to be covered and solving problems related to them.
Within this problems there will be a particular emphasis on case
studies that allow the incorporation of uncertainty, both in the
problem solution and in its definition, in order to simulate real
planning problems. For the solution of these problems, the use of
computational tools, like spreadsheets, will be required.
Learning Results
Introduction to operations management. Introduction to project
management using CPM (critical path method), PERT (project evaluation
and review technique) and time/cost models. Production systems
characterization, according to operation modes and goals. Sequencing
and scheduling in different production systems. Layout and load
balancing of production/assembly lines. Forecasting techniques,
including linear regression, time series decomposition and exponential
smoothing. Introduction to material requirements planning.
