OVERVIEW

The course provides the methodological tools for the representation, analysis and management of industrial automation systems, with specific reference to the class of discrete production systems. For that class of systems, several decision problems are defined and dealt with, in connection with a hierarchical decision framework which includes four decision levels: the strategic level, the tactical level, the operational level, and the real-time control level.

AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course provides methods and tools to analyse the performance of discrete production systems (manufacturing systems) and to solve decision problems at strategic, planning and operational levels.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of the course, the student will be able to suitably represent the dynamics of a discrete production system and to analyse its behaviour through the application of some specific models and methods; he will be also able to solve some decision problems (in particular, at the tactical and operational levels).

TEACHING METHODS

The course is based on theoretical lectures, with projection of slides and some parts written on the blackboard (in particular, examples and exercises).

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Introduction - The considered class of production systems (discrete production) - Models and methods for strategic and tactical planning (the make-or-buy decision problem, capacity growth planning, aggregate planning problem, MRP and lot-sizing) - Scheduling - Models and methods for the analysis of the system behaviour at the operational level (discrete-event systems, Petri nets, GSPN, Markov chains, queue systems and queue networks) - Simulation models and tools (discrete-event simulation, definition and building of a simulation model, analysis of output data).

RECOMMENDED READING/BIBLIOGRAPHY

Teaching materials are provided by the Lecturer-in-charge (slides, technical notes, examples and exercises). Some reference books are listed in the introduction slides.
