Techniques such as value management help to improve value and reduce costs.

IIS524 Production System Design & Execution

Generally, industrial production lines are dynamic systems whose states change according to the occurrence of various events, thus exhibiting the characteristics of a discrete event system. If manufacturers are to remain competitive in a continuously changing marketplace, they must not only continue to improve their products, but also strive to improve production systems continuously. Thus, an efficient prototyping environment for production systems is crucial. A modern production line is a highly integrated system composed of automated workstations such as robots with tool-changing capabilities, a hardware handling system and storage system, and a computer control system that controls the operations of the entire system. The implementation of a production line requires much investment, and decisions at the design stage have to be made very carefully to ensure that a highly automated manufacturing system will successfully achieve the intended benefits. This course deals with various methodologies for the optimal design & verification of a production line.

IIS522 Advanced Supply Chain Management

Supply Chain is a network of suppliers - parts manufacturers - assembly plant - distribution centers - retailers - that works to deliver a product to the consumers. Many traditional management techniques mainly focus on the internal process of a company. But SCM (Supply Chain Management) focuses on saving cost and time at the intersection of the companies, by information sharing and collaboration based on partnership. This course will address important issues which interconnect basic processes of manufacturers, such as purchasing, sales, production, inventory, marketing, negotiation, costing, information technology, and performance evaluation; and strategies to implement an effective supply chain system. The concept of SCM can be applied not only to manufacturing but also to retail, construction, and service businesses as well.
