Contents: The role, importance and development of industrial management and engineering including the interplay between production and economy. The following subjects are covered:
- Methods planning including design of working places, time study, description of operations and work environment.
- Production planning including inventory control, network planning, materials requirement planning and scheduling of machines.
- Quality management including quality management systems, ISO 9000, preventive quality activities regarding product development, process control methods, product safety and liability.
