INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, LUCKNOW POST GRADUATE PROGRAMME COURSE OUTLINE COURSE: MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS DESIGN Term IV,

2012-2013 FACULTY: Prof. Rajiv K. Srivastava 2nd Year Elective 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES

In today's world of ever-increasing domestic and global competition, it has become apparent that for significantly improving productivity and quality, it is no longer sufficient to exercise greater control over existing manufacturing systems: the improvements must begin from system design. The success achieved by world class manufacturers, notably those in Germany and Japan, has shown that well conceived and executed manufacturing can be used as a strategic weapon for achieving corporate and national prosperity. The managers of tomorrow must be aware of the changes that are taking place in the nature of the manufacturing function worldwide. This course provides a focus on the design aspects of manufacturing systems as distinct from the planning and control issues normally addressed in most Operations Management courses. It seeks to present together the concepts, techniques and solutions relating to manufacturing systems design based on the choice of competitive priorities. The objectives of the course are: 1. 2. To introduce and familiarize students with contemporary manufacturing systems. To acquaint students with the tools and techniques used in the analysis, design and evaluation of different types of manufacturing systems. To provide an understanding of the issues involved in the integration of different aspects of manufacturing, with special reference to the changing competitive priorities.

3.

Literature and computer based assignments will be used from time to time to supplement and reinforce the concepts and techniques discussed in class.
