Course Description The term operations management refers to the direction and control of the processes that transform inputs into finished goods and services. This function is essential to systems producing goods and services in both profit and non-profit organizations. The goal of the course is to help students become effective managers in todays competitive, global environment. The course will examine operations as a competitive weapon, demand forecasting, supply-chain management, aggregate planning, inventory systems, justin-time systems and material requirements planning.

Course Outcomes The successful completion of this course will enable the student to: 1. Describe operation management areas of responsibility and the contribution of operations management to an organization. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Use computer analysis to produce a linear regression forecasting model. Explain the concept of supply-chain management and the requirements and design of a successful supply chain. Develop an operational aggregate plan following a chase strategy, level strategy or mixed strategy. Describe inventory systems for independent demand and the costs and benefits of carrying inventory. Identify the characteristics of JIT (just-in-time) systems that enable the realization of the JIT philosophy. Identify the key concepts of materials planning for dependent demand using MRP (material requirement planning).
