ObjectivesThe objective of the course is to introduce basic operations management techniques and link them with real manufacturing and service industry cases. Emphasis is on practice, hence the name of the course Practical Operations Management. ContentsThe course presents key operations management (OM) techniques related to operational principles, layout design, quality management, inventory and supply chain management, linked with numerous cases of real turnaround projects in companies over the past years.
