Operations management (OM) plans, organizes, coordinates, and controls the resources needed to produce goods and services.

Concepts are arranged in progressive order from strategic to tactical, applying quantitative and qualitative analysis to OM concepts. Students explore the role of operations in building the firm's competitive strength and fulfilling the firm's goal of creating value and delivering customer satisfaction. The course utilizes Excel-based decision-making tools and business analytics models to develop quantitative OM analyses. Finally, concepts are reinforced using marketplace OM simulations and mastered through an inquiry-based project.

Topics include productivity, operations strategy, project management, forecasting, design of goods and services, managing quality, process strategies, capacity and constraint planning, location and layout strategies, managing human resources, supply chain management, inventory management, aggregate planning and S&OP, materials requirement planning, short-term scheduling, lean operations, and maintenance and reliability. This course meets all majors' General Education Reading and Writing Enhancement requirement. Prerequisites: BUS 1000, ACNT 1010, and MATH 1150.
