Technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are blurring the lines between the physical, digital and biological spheres of global production systems. The current pace of technological development is exerting profound changes on the way people live and work. It is impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, perhaps none more so than production, including how, what, why and where individuals produce and deliver products and services. To address some of these issues and shed light on technology’s impact on global production systems, this course will introduce the System Initiative on Shaping the Future of Production at the beginning of 2016. This course will start from the Industry Design point of views. We will review the Innovative technologies of Product Design and Its Applications, then the Product Development issues will be discussed. Following, we will review the tradictionl theories of production scheduling from IE point of views. Finally, we will review some recent technologies of Intelligent Production Scheduling.
