Definition of basic concepts in production. Material flows in the manufacturing company: a process or discrete approach. The basic approach to products and processes improvement. Analysis of the production system. Gathering data about production elements: production program, products, technological systems, industrial processes and production system structure. Data display. Production elements analysis: production, product characteristics, technological processes, specific parameters of the system, technological systems and material flows. Basic concepts of product and process improvement. Production improvement. Product classification. Products grouping. Technologies improvement. Technological systems selection. The procurement process of new technological systems. Work units design. The spatial structure of manufacturing system. Evaluating the effects of improvements. Development projects management in manufacturing companies. Performance improvement projects.
The teaching includes lectures and auditory practice. Lectures provide theoretical approaches and the problem frameworks. Practice includes interactive workshops with the examples from real systems.
