Operations Management (OM) is the field of management which deals with the operational function of enterprises. Every organization, public or private, service or manufacturing, uses production systems to transform resource inputs into useful goods or services. The course develops a systematic approach for identifying and solving a wide variety of production and operation management problems. Operations Management involves both long term system planning and design and operating problems that occur within a short term planning and decision framework. Most of the controllable costs of a business are managed by the operating function. This course is designed to develop student skills in analysis, planning and decision making. Its goal is to develop the student's ability to plan and control production and operational systems and to solve a wide range of operating problems. Materials used in the course are taken from a wide variety of operating situations involving both production and service operations.
