The course provides an overview of the issues of strategic, tactical and operational production management. Various applications of selected methods and algorithms for production management are introduced. Furthermore, life cycle assessment (LCA) as a method for evaluating the sustainability of processes and products is presented and discussed on the basis of case studies.

The students

• are proficient in the technical terms of production management and understand business process performance,

• can describe production processes based on various characteristics and know criteria for evaluating their performance,

• can apply basic algorithms to problems of material requirements, batch sizes, scheduling and capacity planning,

• know management concepts in production,

• know the concept of sustainability

• know methods of life cycle assessment (LCA) and can apply them to simple examples.
