Pre-requisite NIL Syllabus version
v. 1.1
Course Objectives:
1. To analyze different planning activities needed during the operations stage of a manufacturing
or a service industry.
2. To apply productivity techniques for achieving continuous improvement.

Expected Course Outcome:

Upon successful completion of the course the students will be able to
1. Analyze the way price of a product affects the demand for a product for consequent actions and
predict demand for a product by making use of different demand forecasting techniques.
2. Explain Break even analysis to determine safe production levels and costing of industrial
products.
3. Apply productivity techniques for continuous improvement in different functionalities of an
industry.
4. Analyze the existing operations that happen in factories for establishing time standards for
different activities.
5. Demonstrate the knowledge of selection of location for the new plant & optimizing the layout
within the plant for smooth production.
6. Apply cellular manufacturing concepts in industry.
7. Compute material requirement needed to satisfy the Master Production Schedule of a factory by
having thorough understanding of MRP logic.
