Production planning, control and optimisation

The courses introduce the students to the basics in production planning, control and optimisation which are important tools in the development of more material, energy and cost efficient processes.

Course Optimering introduces students to the basics in optimisation, including the different problem classifications and algorithms to solve the problems. Evolutionary algorithms offers knowledge in optimisation with stochastic methods. Process- och produktionsoptimering provides knowledge on how to solve problems related to the production and cost efficiency and how to distribute tasks optimally. Control of discrete event systems gives basic knowledge in computer aided modeling and control of systems where discrete decisions are made and actions are taken. Neural networks presents an introduction to artificial neural networks and their use in problem solving in engineering.
