MPX Instructional Version

MPX Instructional Version
The ultimate tool in teaching analysis of manufacturing system dynamics!

If you teach courses in Manufacturing Systems, Operations Management, Production Planning/Scheduling or Simulation, then the instructional version of MPX modeling software is for you and your students.

MPX is in use at over 200 Engineering and Business schools around the world - from top American institutions like MIT, Yale, Dartmouth, Duke, Northwestern and the Wharton School to the Ecole Polytechnic University in France, the Helsinki University of Technology, the Indian Institute of Science, the University of Waterloo in Canada and Waseda University in Japan.

The MPX Instructional Version offers ease of use, adaptability to any course, eight complete lectures, and detailed Teaching Notes. These have resulted in testimonials such as these:

"We have applied MPX in two of our courses: Manufacturing Systems Design and Operations Management. The number of students attending the courses has exploded after we started to apply MPX. From the academic point of view, MPX paves the way to introducing completely new paradigms for manufacturing."

Prof. Eero Eloranto
Helsinki University of Technology, Finland

"The interactive character of the software and the realistic flavor of the accompanying case materials gave my students at Yale School of Organization & Management an exciting learning experience. The students quickly emerged with both an intellectual and a gut-level sense of JIT, Continuous Improvement, and Time-Based Competition."

Prof. Mike Burstein

"MPX is an excellent tool for illustrating complex relations between flow time, inventory, and output in manufacturing systems. Its menu structure makes MPX easy to use and the preparation time for both students and instructors is low."

Prof. Urban Wemmerlov
University of Wisconsin-Madison

With just a few hours of preparation you will begin to give your students powerful new ways to solve such real world manufacturing problems as...

Achieving lead time reduction in support of time-based competition
Manufacturing system dynamics: impact of lot sizes, set-ups and utilization on WIP, lead times and more
Quick Response manufacturing as a powerful new approach to building competitiveness.

Windows-based MPX requires no programming or knowledge of special computer languages. Pull-down menus and tables prompt for input, then MPX's powerful modeling engine quickly evaluates the models you build. Scores of reports deliver clear, easy-to-understand information on key aspects of manufacturing performance. MPX modeling software and supporting materials offer a clear-cut, quick-to-achieve alternative to cumbersome, plodding simulation programs. It puts the focus on learning by doing - not programming.
