In this course, part of the Principles of Manufacturing MicroMasters program, you will learn about Multi-Part-Type Manufacturing Systems. We will discuss Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Multi-Stage Control and Scheduling as well as Simulation and Quality.
This course will enableyou to develop an intuition about stochastic production lines.You will understand the importance and cost of inventory buffers, run basic simulation and optimizations and develop a policy to manage production systems.
The topics that we cover will provide the basis for you to continue into the manufacturing field in roles such as an operations manager and supply chain manager.
This course should be taken in sequence following Introduction to Manufacturing Systems.
What you'll learn
- Understand the application of stochastic production line models
- Issues to consider in the design and use of simulations
- Material requirements planning (MRP) to bettermanage manufacturing processes
