Industrial and Production Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Batch Size Changeover Trade-Off

This Industrial and Production Engineering final year project investigates balancing fictional setup losses and inventory from alternative batch sizes, connecting a bounded production decision to explicit data, constraints and reproducible comparison criteria.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic gives balancing fictional setup losses and inventory from alternative batch sizes a practical industrial-engineering scope without assuming access to an entire factory. Comparing inventory, setup time and unmet demand supports process diagrams, simulations or evidence reviews and helps explain why an apparent improvement may depend on its assumptions.

How do the selected production-system policies or assumptions affect inventory, setup time and unmet demand when balancing fictional setup losses and inventory from alternative batch sizes?

Choose a fictional production case, permitted dataset or harmless approved teaching task, then agree the workload and comparison criteria for balancing fictional setup losses and inventory from alternative batch sizes.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the production process, evidence and constraints required for balancing fictional setup losses and inventory from alternative batch sizes.
  2. 02Use synthetic demand and setup times, compare batch policies and include demand variability and capacity limits.
  3. 03Compare inventory, setup time and unmet demand and report uncertainty, trade-offs and limits of application.

A suggested research approach

Use synthetic demand and setup times, compare batch policies and include demand variability and capacity limits. Identify synthetic inputs and obtain permission for any real observations or participant tasks. Keep a documented baseline, inspect sensitivity to uncertain assumptions, and compare inventory, setup time and unmet demand without treating a modelled improvement as a verified factory outcome.

What you will need

  • Synthetic demand series
  • Fictional process capacities
  • Planning model

Keep your project scope clear

The analysis does not establish actual costs or recommend production without quality and safety review.
