Introduction of this course:
Course description
This course focuses on managing the activities involved directly in the creation of products and services such as design, production, and distribution of goods and services from raw materials, suppliers, plants, and retail channels to returns processing and customer service. It provides managers with the skills and tools to analyze, optimize, and improve production processes for competitive advantage. Key topics include value creation, product and service design, manufacturing processes, quality management, capacity planning, inventories, order fulfillment, reverse logistics, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility.
Operations management oversees the entire range of activities for efficient and effective delivery of an organization’s products or services to its customers. It uses resources available to managers to build an integrative process to unite all the people, money, materials, information, and technology involved. It also looks for ethical and innovative ways to solve problems firms encounter in the making goods or rendering services. Through an introduction to the history of production and service management, this course exposes the students to a business environment where all the operational functions are geared toward achieving excellence, adding value, and satisfying customers. Theories, concepts and applications of operations management are introduced to help understand some of the complicated issues faced by today’s managers. Real-life cases and exercises are used to engage the students in active learning and to give them a realistic, hands-on experience.
Course/Learning objectives

(Evidence: Present and explain key concepts effectively with tools and examples.)
- Apply the main principles of operations management to improve strategic actions to achieve competitive advantages and meet the organization’s triple bottom line objectives (environmental, social, and economic sustainability). (Evidence: Document and analyze a case study, complete a project applying lessons learned, or participate in a meaningful professional discourse.)
