Objectives
In the end of this course the students must have competencies and expertise on:
O1: Understand the importance of the production and operations management in the organizations;
O2: Identify and characterize several production environments;
O3: Characterize main production costs and production capacities;
O4: Establish aggregate plans and master production plans;
O5: Define materials and resources needs according to the MRP logic;
O6: Schedule operations in different production systems (ERP, JIT/Lean, TOC).
CO: In addition to the specific technical competences of the subject, students are expected to develop group work and leadership skills, dialogue and communication capabilities.
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 Ts>7v and (T1+T2) average > 9 v
GA is used to decide access to a final exam (obtained if TG > 9 ).
FINAL GRADE = 0.4 TG + 0.6 EX
