Why do you enroll

Many students find it difficult to settle in an industry, even if they are academically skilled. This course brings out about everything that is required for a GET (Graduate Engineering Trainee) or DET (Diploma Engineering Trainee) prior to their industrial exposure.
The course contains explanations of certain industrial management tools, such as MRP, Inventory control, Lot sizing, etc., which becomes very handy for those professionals who want to show their mettle in the industry. All these tools are very carefully designed and explained in the course.
Working in an industry is not always field work. You as an engineer is required to show your presentation skills to convey various ideas,issues and solutions. The tools explained in the course would come very handy.
And last but not the least. You are going to understand the in and outs of a industry from the viewpoint of a person who joined as a trainee (GET) & made his way up in the ladder to become a production engineer.

Course Details

Production planning and control refers to two strategies that work cohesively throughout the manufacturing process. Production planning involves what to produce, when to produce it, how much to produce, and more. A long-term view of production planning is necessary to fully optimize the production flow.

Production control uses different control techniques to reach optimum performance from the production system to achieve throughput targets.

In this course you will learn the basic concepts of Production, Manufacturing processes, selection of apt system for optimizing inventory, Product management to advanced planning and control techniques as such lot sizing, EOQ method, Order size calculation, Break-even analysis, Assembly line balancing and many more.

Most suitable for students belonging to mechanical engineering, management, Industrial engineering, Production technology and Manufacturing science. Furthermore, this course covers all the topics for university students having PPC as one of the subject or an part of Industrial engineering and for ambitious Production managers employed in various industries.

Scope of this course :

Complete syllabus is discussed in this lecture.As well, why planning and controlling of production is required in the first place has also been cleared.

What is production? :

Production is a process of combining various material inputs and immaterial inputs in order to make something for consumption.

A production system :

All production systems, when viewed at the most abstract level, might be said to be “transformation processes”—processes that transform resources into useful goods and services. The transformation process typically uses common resources such as labour, capital (for machinery and equipment, materials, etc.), and space (land, buildings, etc.) to effect a change. Economists call these resources the “factors of production” and usually refer to them as labour, capital, and land. Production managers have referred to them as the “five M’s”: men, machines, methods, materials, and money.
