Industrial and Production Engineering Techniques

At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. state the meaning and essence of break-even analysis and its application in choice decision making in the presence of alternatives; 2. identify and explain the types of production system. 3. enumerate the different manufacturing techniques that are available; 4. state the meaning of facility Layouts and classify them; 5. state the uses of algorithms for designing process and layout designs; 6. comment on transportation problems as optimisation problems and their essence in the industry; 7. explain how to identify transportations problems, develop strategies to solve them and to utilise available techniques to solve them; 8. state the principles of time and motion studies and describe their essence in workplace design; 9. discuss the applications of the learning curve principles in real-life; and 10. explain the essence of plant location analysis in decision making.
