Production Organisation is a subject that is taught in the first four-month period simultaneously with the subject "Integrated Management Systems", with which it shares common aspects, although "Integrated Management Systems" deals with more general management concepts of the company.



Bearing in mind that the manufacturing business fabric of our environment, it is a subject that facilitates the incorporation of students into professional life, as it delves into aspects of design, planning and management of production and logistics systems.



The course aims to offer a global vision of the company's production area. It enables the student to organise production systems (designing an assembly line, among others), improve them (redesigning an assembly line, carrying out a new layout or distribution in a company's plant, among others) and manage the resources involved in production activities in a rational and sustainable way. It also provides the student with the competences to develop production planning tasks.



The subject consists of two blocks: on the one hand, the design of production and logistics systems and, on the other hand, production planning and control.

As competences of the subject, students should achieve the following:

- Ability to integrate information and communication technology solutions and business processes to meet the information needs of organisations' organisations, enabling them to achieve their objectives effectively and efficiently, thus giving them competitive advantages.

- Ability to understand and apply the principles and practices of organisations, so that they can act as a liaison between the technical and management communities of an organisation and actively participate in the training of users.



After taking this subject, students will achieve the following learning outcomes:

LO1. Distinguish or classify what process engineering is and how it is related to product engineering.

LO2. Distinguish the different production processes according to the degree of automation or the nature of the production flow.

LO3. Describe production processes by means of process diagrams including their times.

LO4. Design and redesign production lines.

LO5. Design a workshop production system.

LO6. Know and master the fundamental concepts of flexible manufacturing.

LO7. Design a warehouse with shelving.

LO8. Distinguish the types of production planning according to the time horizon: sales and operations plan, master production plan and production scheduling.

LO9. Carry out a company's sales and operations plan. Develop the master production plan and materials requirements planning as well as capacity planning.

LO10. Develop the company's very short-term production scheduling using optimal and heuristic algorithms.

LO11. Identify and manage bottlenecks.

The different topics of the subject will be worked on following a methodology that integrates lectures, classroom practice and computer practice. The student will gradually acquire the necessary basic skills and abilities.



The competences and their associated learning objectives are worked on in the different Thematic Blocks.

• Continuous Assessment System
• Final Assessment System
• Tools and qualification percentages:
  • Written test to be taken (%): 70
  • Realization of Practical Work (exercises, cases or problems) (%): 15
  • Team projects (problem solving, project design)) (%): 15

The continuous assessment system will be used.



1. Tests to be taken during the training period. They will be evaluated:

- Attendance, attitude and completion of the computer practicals: 15%.

- group work (15%).

Maximum mark: 3 points. Students must obtain at least 45% of the maximum mark to pass the course. Students must complete all group work and attendance will be compulsory for the computer practicals.



2. Complementary test to be taken on the official date established for the exams.

Written exam. In order to pass the exam, the student must obtain a minimum mark of 5 out of 10.



Only if the exam has been passed will the final weighted mark for the subject be obtained.



Given that the final exam is weighted above 40%, failure to take the final exam automatically means that the student will not be able to take the exam and will be recorded as NOT PRESENTED.



In the case that a student chooses the final assessment system, he/she must submit a signed letter expressing his/her renunciation of the continuous assessment system. This document must be submitted to the subject teacher within a period of nine weeks from the beginning of the term, in accordance with the academic calendar of the centre.



After this period of time, no written document and/or application for the aforementioned purpose will be accepted. In this case, in addition to the complementary test (to be taken on the official date), a series of questions/problems will be added to assess the students' knowledge of the contents developed through individual and group work, as well as computer practice. In order to pass the course, it will be essential to pass the part corresponding to these questions and/or problems (obtaining 5 points out of 10).



Given that the final exam is weighted above 40%, failure to take the final exam automatically means that the student will not be able to take the exam and will be recorded as NOT PRESENTED.

The final assessment test of the extraordinary exam will contain the following parts: content developed in the different thematic blocks, questions/problems on the content developed through group work, and computer practicals.



The criteria for passing the exam are the same as in the ordinary exam.



In the case of having obtained positive results in the group work, as well as in the computer practicals, during the continuous assessment, these will be retained and the student will only be examined on the content of the final assessment test.



Only if the exam has been passed will the final weighted mark for the subject be obtained.



Given that the final exam is weighted above 40%, failure to take the final exam automatically means that the student will not be able to take the final assessment and will be recorded as NOT PRESENTED.
