制造一直是国家的经济命脉，随着产业升级及国际化的冲击，如何提升制造管理的竞争优势成为产业生存与发展的关键因素。基于此目标，本课程强调能够解决真实系统的制造管理原理与应用，而非传统的生产管理模式。具体而言，本课程将涵盖下列主要议题—制造管理方法论及演进过程、传统的生产管理模式的问题探讨、考量系统变异的生产管理模式及原理、高端拉式系统专题、实务参访。课程设计涵盖通用的制造管理原则，并辅以实务教材，以培养未来能够学以致用的学识与技能。(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.)
本课程将教授制造管理之原理与实践手法，为了加强学生学以致用的学习成效，也安排1周到制造工厂现场授课，以传授实战经验。(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.)
