Subject aims and description<br />

The subject is intended to provide a grounding in the<br />

application <strong>of</strong> computers to the management and control <strong>of</strong> a<br />

manufacturing enterprise. Particular emphasis is placed on<br />

practical familiarisation with available s<strong>of</strong>tware packages and<br />

evaluation <strong>of</strong> their applicability to particular cases.<br />

A proportion <strong>of</strong> the subject is devoted to MRPll packages.<br />

Further topics include project management including CPMI<br />

PERT and investment decision, simulation, decision making<br />

and total maintenance system.<br />
