Synopsis

Because  many  graduates will find themselves in some  supervisory  or
middle management role, it is essential that they be given a grounding
in   planning   and   management  techniques  commonly   employed   in
manufacturing organisations.

The  objective of this unit is to introduce the student  to  effective
analysis  and planning of manufacturing operations. The responsibility
of  management  to  provide efficient methods of  production  will  be
realised  by  the student. Various procedures and techniques  used  to
achieve   such  methods  will  be  studied.  The  layout  of  physical
facilities  will be dealt with, as will the scheduling and control  of
production through such facilities. Work study techniques are  covered
in detail.
