Course Content	Flow line production systems are present in different industrial environments and are utilized to manufacture a large variety of products. Usually, several versions of a standardized product differing from each other by optional components and equipment have to be assembled jointly on assembly lines. This type of decision problems have to be solved when such production systems are installed and operated. Within the scope of this course, different solution approaches for assembly lines will be discussed. Also, different types of manufacturing systems are discussed such as lean manufacturing, cellular manufacturing etc.
