Manufacturing Systems Management is a discipline built upon a collection of methodological tools brought together to effect an integrated or "total" approach to problem-solving in manufacturing engineering and management, with productivity improvement as its overall objective. The main objective of manufacturing, earlier, was in achieving maximum productivity through the design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of human, machine and equipment. Such a technology-based orientation gradually changed with the development of operations research, cybernetics, modern control theory and computing power. Today, the fields of applications have widened dramatically, ranging from the traditional areas of production engineering, facilities planning and material handling, to the design and optimization of more broadly-defined systems.
From the Head, Central Workshop Division
“The Manufacturing Systems Management programme facilitates in-depth knowledge of manufacturing systems based on principles of engineering and management. The programme unified faculty and curricula in the continuum from material science, through manufacturing processes and systems, to management studies, consistent with the needs of contemporary manufacturing enterprises”
- Dr.L.Karunamoorthy, Head, Central Workshop Division

OUR VISION
“We at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Anna University shall strive hard to impart knowledge and state-of-art training to our students and expose them to current and broad areas of Mechanical Engineering, namely design, manufacturing, energy, thermal sciences and related interdisciplinary areas, so that they can later practice their profession , both at home and abroad keeping in mind the needs and concern of the society they represent, safe guarding values, ethics and by instrumental in bringing about an overall technological development.”
