Objectives
In the end of this course the students must have expertise''''s on:
- Understand the importance of the production and operations management in the organizations;
- Identify and characterize several production environments;
- Characterize main production costs and production capacities;
- Establish aggregate plans and master production plans;
- Define materials and resources needs according to the MRP logic;
- Schedule operations in different production systems (ERP, JIT/Lean, TOC).
During this course we also promote team work and leadership.
Prerequisites
Is advised that students have some expertise in: Inventory Management, Operational Research and Quantitative Methods.

Teaching method
Lectures are carried out combining theoretical classes and applied classes.
Evaluation method
The course grading shall be based on the following:
Group Assignment (GA) +
EX or Mid (T1) and End (T2) semester tests if T2>8v and (T1+T2) average > 9,5v
GA is used to decide access to a final exam (obtained if > 9,5v).
FINAL GRADE = 0.4 TG + 0.6 EX
