製造一直是國家的經濟命脈，隨著產業升級及國際化的衝擊，如何提升製造管理的競爭優勢成為產業生存與發展的關鍵因素。基於此目標，本課程強調能夠解決真實系統的製造管理原理與應用，而非傳統的生產管理模式。具體而言，本課程將涵蓋下列主要議題—製造管理方法論及演進過程、傳統的生產管理模式的問題探討、考量系統變異的生產管理模式及原理、進階拉式系統專題、實務參訪。課程設計涵蓋通用的製造管理原則，並輔以實務教材，以培養未來能夠學以致用的學識與技能。(Manufacturing management is the competitive advantage for the global economy development. This course aims at solving real-world manufacturing management problem in lieu of traditional production and operations management (POM) approaches which are based on unrealistic assumptions. Specifically, the course will cover the following topics: the evolution of manufacturing management, the problems with the traditional POM approaches, system dynamics and variability for manufacturing management, pull production systems, factory tour.)
本課程將教授製造管理之原理與實踐手法，為了加強學生學以致用的學習成效，也安排1周到製造工廠現場授課，以傳授實戰經驗。(The course emphasizes the knowledge in solving practical problems. There is factory tour to illustrate a real-world manufacturing management system in addition to the in-class lectures.)
