In every production company, effective and efficient value creation depends on the design of production structures and their utilization. As part of the production organization, the company's goals are implemented in terms of production technology and how value is to be created in production.

This requires knowledge of the interrelationships between organizational forms in production. In addition, an extended knowledge of operational information processing must be imparted, which means an integrated view of the application systems used today (ERP, MES, SCADA). This includes extensive knowledge of numbering systems, parts lists and work plans. Furthermore, methodical knowledge is required for the design and evaluation of work systems through to the planning of entire production areas and factories. Strategies and possibilities for production process modeling and production planning and control must also be considered.  Subsequently, selected methods of production optimization are dealt with.

Excursions are carried out as required to accompany the course.

1. fundamentals and interrelationships -> organizational forms in production

2. operational information processing -> application systems in the production area, numbering systems, parts lists, work plans, work plan creation

3. work system design -> degree of automation, accident prevention, risk assessment, work evaluation

4. factory planning (from an organizational point of view) -> methods and tools, planning phases, representative formation, location planning, degree of cooperation, area determination (of production areas), use of simulation

5. production process modeling -> funnel model and flow diagram, production characteristics

6. production planning and control -> principles, material requirements planning, forecasting models, in-house production control, external procurement control, order initiation, order monitoring

7. production optimization -> value stream analysis and value stream design, SMED method

The acquired knowledge is practiced intensively on tasks for planning, calculating and setting up production processes

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Written examination

• Field work / Experimental work

After completing the module, students will be able to differentiate between the various forms of organization in production companies and categorize the IT systems used there. They name forms of parts lists, describe the connection to work plans and explain the numbering systems used. Students also name methods for work evaluation, factory planning and modeling production processes. They differentiate between production planning and production control and assign possible planning tools. Students also explain selected methods for optimizing production.

After completing the module, students discuss the advantages and disadvantages of production organization forms. They relate parts lists and work plans to each other and justify the use of suitable numbering systems in the production environment. In the field of factory planning, students discuss the methodical approach and illustrate the work processes behind it. Furthermore, they differentiate between methods and tools for production planning and production control and illustrate optimization methods for existing production areas.

After completing the module, students evaluate the necessary methods and tools for production organization. They independently carry out factory planning, organize numbering systems within production and design the processes for successful production planning and control. They analyse optimization potential in operational production and use optimization methods for improvement.
