Overview
COURSE DESCRIPTION:Operations Management course is designed to give students a head start in the subject and introduce them to the key quantitative methods that are essential to decision-making process for every operations manager.COURSE OBJECTIVES:It is hoped that the students will understand Operations management concepts that support decision-making in four major areas:1. Operations Strategy2. Supply Network Design3. Planning and Control4. ImprovementThe class will be developed through readings, lectures, oral presentations and cases studies.Presence in class is mandatory. More than 2 absences will lead to a failing grade.EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES:Upon completion of this course, students should be able to understand:1. Time Series and Linear Regression Analysis2. Earning Before Interest & Tax (EBIT) and net present value (NPV)3. Productivity and Value-added Throughput Efficiency4. Work Measurement and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)5. Measuring Capacity and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)6. Break-even Analysis and Weighted Score Method7. Linear Programming and Transportation Method8. Optimizing Location and InventoryEVALUATIONS:The final grade will be determine as follow:- Midterm Exam N°1 ? Quantitative Analysis Test = 20%
- Midterm Exam N°2 ? Quantitative Analysis Test = 20%
- Group Project ? Video Presentation = 20%
- Final Exam ? Case Exercise = 20%
- Class Participation = 20%
