BUS 635 - Operations and Supply Chain Management

3 Hour(s)

This course integrates the principles, theories and techniques learned from prior operations management courses and provides a broad perspective for efficiently and effectively managing operations. Whether an organization delivers a service or manufactured product, operations management plays a key role in achieving its strategic objectives. This course is designed both to reinforce the tools and techniques required to manage operations and to demonstrate the coordination required between operations and other functional areas. The importance of process choice as it relates to competitive priorities and the concept of manufacturing strategy are discussed in detail. Class discussions, exercises, case analyses and a simulation game provide the vehicles for developing decision making, communication, interpersonal and leadership skills that are essential for managers in operations and supply chain management.
