ELECTIVE-II: ASSEMBLY PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT
Course code :PR 475 – D
Credits :03
Course Title: Assembly Planning and Management
Relevance of the course:
Assembly, as the final production stage, must cope with continuously shifting market
requirements in regard to timing, batch sizes and product design or style, thus making
it sensitive to any changes and requiring a flexibility that is not always possible.
Assembly is known to have an important share in both the manufacturing lead time
and resources used for production and is, therefore, an important candidate in the
attempt to reduce them. A shift in the research focus on assembly in the last two
decades is evident from the huge amount of research articles. However, there has
been almost no movement in the academics towards including a course on assembly
at under-graduate or post-graduate level. Introduction of this course is an attempt to
make students aware of the importance of assembly systems and intrigue them into
studying, analyzing and designing assembly systems which represent a very complex
and interesting area of study.
Objectives of the course:
k. To gain an understanding and interest in the assembly line design practices
prevalent in industry.
l. To gain ability to recognize situations in an assembly system environment those
suggest the use of certain quantitative methods to assist in decision making.
m. To learn how to think about, approach, analyze, and solve assembly system
problems using people skills (predominantly) and technology.
n. To increase knowledge and broaden perspective of the "industrial world" in which
one will contribute his / her talent and leadership as an Industrial Engineer.

Managers are required to know the systems approach to management
coupled with the ability to participate in its design and utilization. They
face increasingly rapid change in information technology, culture and
environment in which they work. Today’s firms are e-business enterprises
or digital firms whose focus is on ‘just in time information where action is
eminent’. MIS management is therefore an intricate process, because it has
become more interwoven into the complex fabric of modern organizations.
Objectives of the course:
o. To provide a systematic knowledge of MIS so that it can be appreciated
and understood for application in business and industry.
p. Provide the students basics, conceptual foundations, strategic management
and applications of MIS
q. Introduction to hardware, software, database and networking/web
technologies for MIS to equip the students with the new technology
