Today’s business is characterized by supply networks comprising different partners (e.g. suppliers, distribution and retail centres, plants, customers). Activities within supply networks have to be well coordinated in order to avoid excessive inventories, inefficient capacity utilization and poor customer service. In most industrial companies operational production management is supported by computerizes production planning and control (PPC) systems which are embedded into comprehensive Enterprise Resource (ERP) systems. Over the recent years so-called Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) systems have emerged. Their major characteristics are the use of mathematical optimization techniques and the integration into comprehensive supply chain management concepts.

Bemærkninger:
It is expected that participants have an interest in practical problems of production planning, scheduling and logistics, and the quantitative modelling of business problems. Participants should be familiar with basic Operations Research (OR) techniques. Students of the master programme Engineering Management (Planlægning, Innovation og Ledelse) have priority access to this course.
