Course Objectives The objective of this course is to purvey for the students of the following: Describe some important issues in the design and operation of manufacturing systems. Explain important measures of system performance. Show the importance of random, potentially disruptive events. Give some intuition about behavior of these systems. Explain the importance of capacity, and how it can vary randomly over time.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Be able to define the meanings and scope of Stochastic Models in Manufacturing in their historical context
  • Be able to become familiar with Queueing Networks and their applications
  • Be able to become familiar with Stochastic Processes and their use in manufacturing
  • Be able to analyze real life examples which aims to improve the manufacturer's productivity and efficiency through better design of such systems
  • Be able to understand the scope of variety of queueing models such as M/M/1, M/G/1, GI/G/1 and Open and Closed Networks
Course Description This course deals with the following topics: Models of manufacturing systems, including transfer lines and flexible manufacturing systems; Calculation of performance measures, including throughput, inprocess inventory, and meeting production commitments; Realtime control of scheduling; Effects of machine failure, setups, and other disruptions on system performance. NOTE: but the knowlwdge at the level of MATH 223 or MATH 218 is strongly recommended.
