    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 Strategy
    2. Supply Network Design
    3. Planning and Control
    4. Improvement
     
    The 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 Analysis
    2. Earning Before Interest & Tax (EBIT) and net present value (NPV)
    3. Productivity and Value-added Throughput Efficiency
    4. Work Measurement and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF)
    5. Measuring Capacity and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)
    6. Break-even Analysis and Weighted Score Method
    7. Linear Programming and Transportation Method
    8. Optimizing Location and Inventory
     
    EVALUATIONS:
    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%
