<p> Advanced Production Planning & Scheduling, ISE 514 Spring 2012 Dr. Meshkat</p><p>Contact Info : Dr. Leila Meshkat Email: [email protected]</p><p>My Office Hours : Fridays 3:30-5:00 pm</p><p>Teaching Assistant: Yalda Khashe Email: [email protected]</p><p>Course Description:</p><p>The objective of this course is to provide the students with the appropriate mathematical modeling tools and techniques, as well as a thorough systemic understanding of the context for the design and optimization of service systems. The course will cover 1) the basic concepts and analytical methods of production planning 2) the basic concepts and analytical methods of sequencing and scheduling 3) the application of planning and scheduling techniques to real-world problems. </p><p>The class project will provide students with an opportunity to study and formulate an example production planning & scheduling problem in their application of interest, and each student will be required to prepare a short presentation (time allocated to each student depends on the number of students enrolled) for the class. </p><p>Suggestions for success:  Participate in class – ask lots of questions!  Do the homework  Read the reading assignments</p><p>Course Prerequisite: Introduction to Operations Research</p><p>Course Goals: The main goal of this class is to give the students a systems perspective to production planning and scheduling and equip them with the analytical tools to recognize, formulate, reason and solve complex production planning and scheduling problems. Throughout the class, we will emphasize the value of looking at the lifecycle of the design, development and operation of a service system and understanding how to best utilize the analytical tools in solving real world problems. </p><p>Textbooks: 1. “The fundamentals of production planning and control”, Stephen N.
