Focuses on the study of the processes by which products are created and delivered to customers. The course emphasizes the process flow method using three measures of process achievement: throughput (the rate of product delivery), flowtime (the time it takes to deliver that product), and inventory. Topics include Little’s Law, the uses of inventory, the importance of time-based competition, process analysis, and bottleneck analysis. Computational analysis using simulation is emphasized.
