Deuxième quadrimestre, 52 heures de théorie.

Anglais

Upon completion of this course, the student is able to:
• analyze and improve operational processes
• manage and apply the fundamentals of inventory management
• understand and apply planning systems of material and capacity
• understand the laws of cycle time reduction and apply these concepts.

nteractive formal lectures: During formal lectures the theoretical knowledge will be dealt with in detail. When possible, the students are expected to interact (lively).

Self-study: The compulsory course material offers the students additional exercises at the end of each part to accumulate their knowledge independently.

Exercises: Students will complete exercises, as an extension of the formal lectures.

Type : Exam during the examination period
Description of evaluation : Written
Type of questions : Open questions
Learning material : List of formulas, Calculator

First exam period:
Students will be evaluated on the basis of a written exam. The exam consists of two parts (one part concerning the theory dealt with by Jeroen Beliën and one part concerning the theory dealt with by Liesje De Boeck). Both parts consist of some exercises and questions related to knowledge and insight. The total exam (for both parts) is closed book and is meant to take 4 hours. The students are allowed to bring their pocket calculator to the exam; the standard formulas for each part, which are known beforehand, will be available at the written exam. Each part is evaluated by the respective lecturer-in-charge and counts for one half in the final result. Only this final result is important. A student who does not succeed (who has less than 10/20 on this final result), has an exam resit for both parts (although he passed for one part).

The evaluation methods during the first and second period are identical.
