2. Material requirements planning, manufacturing resource planning, enterprise resource planning
3. Just in time: building blocks of JIT, Toyota JIT system, kanban system for deterministic demand, kanban system for variable demand
4. Push (MRP), Pull (Kanban) and Hybrid (CONWIP) production systems
5. Total quality manufacturing: statistical quality control, quality and operations, quality and supply chain
6. Supply chain management: managing raw materials, managing WIP, managing finished goods inventory, multi-echelon supply chains3
