The course of Production Planning and Control aims to provide all the technical and economic tools that can analyze, plan to design production processes. For these reasons, the course is designed divided into six major macro areas: production planning; design of production processes; materials management in the confrontation between the logic and reintegration needs; the management of production processes in LEAN optics; production control; maintenance management of production processes. During production planning we will examine the concepts and classic models of production planning, the aggregate programming, up to reach the medium-term planning based on MRP models. In the planning phase we will examine the models and the size of the various systems and production techniques, ranging from complex transformation to those of assembly. In this phase we will also be examined processes and the lot sizing models to achieve the goal of efficient production systems. The phase of production control as the models and techniques, which in compliance with the set objectives, it checks to see if what was planned has actually been achieved. Of particular interest will be the part of the course which will cover the management of production processes in LEAN optics. In this phase we will define the main concepts that characterize these management activities even in comparison, using KPI, with alternative management activities.
