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 />
