EIN 4333 Production Control Spring 2013 T, TH 9:30-10:45 am ENC 1002

Instructor: Grisselle Centeno, Ph.D. Office: ENC 2212 Office hours: By appointment Tel: (813) 974-5587 Fax: (813) 974-5953 E-mail: gcenteno@usf.edu Required Text(s): Production and Operations Analysis, 6th ed. by Steven Nahmias, McGraw-Hill ISBN 978-0-07-337785-8 Course Objectives 1. Get exposed to traditional and modern production planning, inventory control, and supply chain theory and practical problems. 2. Build foundations for deterministic and stochastic models needed to solve these problems. 3. Develop skills to analyze and solve large-scale related problems in MRP, Aggregate Planning and Scheduling. Class Policies Attendance: Timely attendance and participation is strongly encouraged. If for some extenuating circumstances you miss a class, you are responsible to obtain from your peers the material covered during the date(s) you were absent. It is at the discretion of the instructor to make available notes or material missed. Students who anticipate the necessity of being absent from class due to the observation of a major religious observance must provide notice of the date(s) to the instructor, in writing, by the second class meeting. Homework: Most homework problems will be assigned but not turned in for grade. If collected, you will be informed at least two days in advance. Selected homework problems will be reviewed during the class period. The homework problems are critical to your developing a working understanding of the material and preparing for the examinations. All take-home quizzes/exams/homework are to be completed independently without consultation or collaboration with other students unless otherwise directed. The same procedure applies for homework. Homework will usually be collected at the end of class. No late homework will be accepted. Grading: Grades will be based on students performance on: Three out of Four quizzes 30% total Two Exams -- 35% each (Exam dates are March 7th, and April 25th) Make-up quizzes will not be given for any reason. If one quiz is missed it becomes the one that is dropped, as it becomes the lowest quiz grade. Any more quizzes missed will be counted as zero points.

Online Students: Taking online courses can be challenging for students and instructors. Although synchronous viewing of the lectures is not required you are expected to review the class material (posted and recorded) within 24 hours. The following grading scale will be used 97 to 100% 93 to 96 % 90 to 92% 86 to 89% 83 to 85% 80 to 82% 76 to 79% A+ A AB+ B BC+ 73 to 75% 70 to 72% 66 to 69% 63 to 65% 60 to 62% Below 60% C CD+ D DF

Group Cases and Project Policies

Some quizzes/ assignments are expected to be a group effort. It is not the intention of these exercises to allow only one person to complete the assignment. For this reason, each member of your group must work equally. At the end of the semester, each member of the team might be required to submit an evaluation of the other team member(s). Evaluations might be factored in as part of your grade. In addition to the written assignments, students will be expected to come prepared to discuss their results. These discussions will be helpful in understanding the concepts and techniques presented in the lecture. Report Format: All assignments must be typed. (Please use 1.5 spacing and 12 pt font). The following format is recommended. Title page - Students name, case title, professors name, due date. Introduction A few paragraphs explaining the background of the case study. Theory A review of the topics used as an approach to solve the case. You are encourage to research the literature (other than your book) and provide background material and an explanation of the significance of these topics. Procedure A concise step-by-step explanation of the methodology followed to solve the problem. Data Analysis /Findings Provide the formulation of the model and any data collected along with the answer of the case questions and the results. Recommendations A summary of results/findings including recommendations for process improvement. Appendix Include any data or notes that support your findings. Academic Integrity Academic honesty is fundamental to the activities and principles of a university. All members of the academic community must be confident that each persons work has been responsibly and honorably acquired, developed and presented. Any effort to gain an advantage not given to all students is dishonest whether or not the effort is successful. The academic community regards academic dishonesty as an extremely serious matter, with serious consequences that range from probation to expulsion. When in doubt about plagiarism, paraphrasing, quoting, or collaboration on assignments, consult the instructor.

In this course dishonesty in any form will not be tolerated. If any student is caught cheating, plagiarizing, copying, or in any other way attempting to represent the work of others as his/her own, the student will receive a failing grade in the course. There will be no exceptions to this rule. A few extra points in an examination are not worth the risk of receiving a grade of F for the course. USF Policy on Academic Dishonesty and Disruption of Academic Process Students attending USF are awarded degrees in recognition of successful completion of coursework in their chosen fields of study. Each individual is expected to earn his/her degree on the basis of personal effort. Consequently, any form of cheating on examinations or plagiarism on assigned papers constitutes unacceptable deceit and dishonesty. Disruption of the classroom or teaching environment is also unacceptable. This cannot be tolerated in the University community and will be punishable, according to the seriousness of the offense, in conformity with this rule.

The faculty and administration strive to insure that students with disabilities participate in all aspects of university life. Academic accommodations are arranged through the Office of Student Disability Services. The Office of Student Disability Services, located in SVC 1133, (974-4309), is responsible for determining eligibility of students for disability status and facilitating services and accommodations for those who qualify. Accommodations that are developed in collaboration with students and faculty, include, but are not limited to, extended time on examinations, alternate formats for printed materials, and the services of sign language interpreters.

Official electronic communications means: your USF assigned e-mail address and the course web site in the USF portal (https://my.usf.edu). It is the students responsibility to make sure they are receiving their official USF email. Please see http://una.acomp.usf.edu for more details. Students are responsible for all information conveyed during class and on Blackboard (myUSF Portal). By College of Engineering Rule Only grades of C or better will be accepted in all Math, Science, and Engineering courses. Be Aware The College of Engineering uses a classroom capture system as part of its distance learning program, which we will be using in this course. The system allows us to audio record the instructor and students, as well as content presented using the classrooms computer and/or document camera. These recorded sessions will be made available to students enrolled in the course. Because we will be recording in the classroom, your questions or comments will be recorded. If this is of serious concern to you, you should consider dropping the class during the first-week drop/add period. Students can view the recorded sessions within Blackboard. The links to do so are located in the Panopto tool and in the Elluminate tool. To access these tools, students should click on the Tools section of the course. Under Tools, students should select Panopto Focus Content or Elluminate Live. Final Reminder Please turn off your pagers and/or cell phones during class. Do not hesitate to ask for help.
