Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
This course is an introductory course in Operations Management. Problems occurring in an operations management setting are studied using mathematical models and techniques, or more generally a formal approach.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
At the end of the class, students should be able o to specify the reference framework and the elements playing a part in the decision making process in the field of operations and production management ; to analyze these elements, in particular using mathematical models and techniques (without neglecting human factors), in order to help in the decision-making process. |
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
Content
The course starts with an introduction to the basics of operations management and production of goods and services. Next, two topics are studied: the design of a production system and the mid to short-term planning of operations.
1. Scheduling in specialized workshops,
2. Inventory management,
3. Demand forecasting methods,
4. Production planning (MRP and JIT),
5. Project scheduling,
6. Design of a production center (choice of capacity, resources, location),
7. Introduction to linear programming (formulation, resolution, post-optimal analysis).

Teaching methods
The lectures are illustrated by examples and provide an overview of the concepts and basic techniques. Exercise sessions emphasize the assimilation of the techniques and provide additional information where applicable, depending on the case studies at hand.
Evaluation methods
Closed book written exam composed of problems to solve using the techniques studied in the course, appendix autorized.
Other information
Lectures in French.
