Overordnede kursusmål
Planning and scheduling are forms of decision-making that play an
important role in most manufacturing and services industries. The
planning and scheduling functions in a company typically use
quantitative methods to allocate its limited resources to the
activities that have to be done. The students will learn to
understand the practices as well as apply and develop techiques
used in application areas such as assembly systems, process
industries, entertainment business, and transportation. The course
also includes recent scientific contributions and prepares for
master project work and research in the field.
