Objectives To address topics on productivity and measurement, data collection and analysis, queuing theory and time management, project management, financial modelling, human factors and quality culture in a practical way.

Synopsis The students will investigate these issues using a 'business process re-engineering' based approach. These hands-on studies will start with a small system which the students will first observe, then describe its component parts; finally they re-assemble the essential components to make the system more productive and reliable. Different simulation tools will be used as the integral part of the investigation and solution processes. Communication skills will be developed through an emphasis on teamwork in investigating problems, and in reporting solutions to the problems.

Assessment Examination (2 hours): 60% · Laboratory, project work and assignments: 40%
