- To evaluate the consequences and the applicability of the selected models/methods/techniques.
Contents: The production firm as a controlled system - types of productions - the production control system (function, structure and interactions with the production system and other control systems) - decision variables in material and capacity planning, e.g. deteministic and stochastic inventory models, material requirements planning (MRP), Gantt-charts, network analysis (PERT), Just in time (JIT) and Optimized Production Technology (OPT)
