Teaching reform of “production planning and control” for modern manufacturing industry

Abstract

"Production Planning and Control" is one of the major courses in Industrial Engineering, and its cross-cutting, adaptable, and practical characteristics require that the course should well integrate technology and management to meet the evolution of modern manufacturing industry. Through the study of the traditional teaching effectiveness of "Production Planning and Control", this paper pointed out the issues, including insufficient interaction, unappealing content, and lack of systematization of the knowledge. By introducing teaching reform approaches for the course, it proposes to combine various teaching methods, rearrange the teaching material, systematically plan the practical teaching links, and assess the learning effect through a diversified evaluation system, in order to promote students' motivation and learning enthusiasm, meanwhile improve the teaching effect of the course to meet the requirement of modern manufacturing industry for talents.
