Main themes
This advanced course describes the objectives, architecture, module contents and limitations of integrated planning systems used in supply chain management, with a special emphasis on the manufacturing and production function (the logistics, transportation and distribution functions are covered in LSM2033): - Enterprise Planning Systems (ERP), - Manufacturing Planning and Control Systems (MPCS), - Advanced Planning and Scheduling Systems (APS). In the second part of the course, some specific supply chain planning problems are studied in more details, including mathematical formulations, solution methods and algorithms: - Strategic Supply Chain Network Design problems, - Tactical/Operational production planning and scheduling problems.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 | At the end of the class, students should be able to - analyze the limitations of classical enterprise resources planning (ERP) systems with respect to supply chain coordination and integration; - Understand and master the archtitecture and module contents of advanced planning systems (APS) and manufacturing planning and control systems (MPCS), studied as examples of decision support systems (DSS) or tools for integrating and optimizing the planning of supply chain activities; - Be able to formulate, analyze and design solutions - using state-of-the-art and adequate methods - for some strategic supply chain network design problems, and some tactical or operational production planning and scheduling problems. |
