Objectives and competences
Course objectives are:
• understanding the concepts of enterprise-control system integration (ERP, MES, and PCS),
• understanding the concepts of smart factory, warehouse, transport, home, and city integrations,
• workflow, quality management, and asset management optimization concepts utilization,
• enterprise resource planning systems implementation concepts utilization.
Competences acquired by students:
• master the concepts of logistics information systems (LIS) integrations: horizontal (ERP and SCM systems) and vertical (ERP-MES-PCS systems) according to the ANSI/ISA-95 classification,
• master the concepts of smart factory, warehouse, transport, home, and city integrations,
• master ERP system's implementation methods: big bang, phased approach, two-tire approach, process-based approach, hybrid approach, ASAP methodology,
• master static and dynamic, exact and approximative workflow activities scheduling and dispatching methods.
Content (Syllabus outline)
1. Logistics information systems (horizontal and vertical integration, ANSI/ISA-95 classification).
2. Enterprise control system integration (enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), manufacturing execution systems (MES), process control systems (PCS)).
3. Workflow, quality management, and asset management optimization (workflow activities scheduling and dispatching, schedule feasibility and quality analysis).
4. Smart factory, warehouse, transport, home, and city integrations (digital twins, overlay networks and their interconnections, IoT protocol stack, extended reality).
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures: during lectures students are familiarised with the theoretical fundamentals of the course. Lectures take place live in the classroom as well as in the form of e-lectures via videoconferencing and dedicated e-classrooms in the e-learning environment.
Tutorials: during tutorials students consolidate their theoretical knowledge and learn to apply it. The tutorials are held live in the classroom as well as in the form of e-tutorials via videoconferencing and dedicated e-classrooms in the e-learning environment.
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Upon completion of the course the student will be capable of:
• ERP solutions implementation,
• workflow, quality management, and asset management optimization,
• cooperation in smart systems and solutions integrations.
