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. |
Content
This course introduces to production management as well as to the quantitative methods that can be implemented to face problems related to both the production process and the global supply chain, including (but not limited to)
-
design of the supply chain network;
-
demand forecast;
-
capacity planning;
-
planning and scheduling of the manufacturing process;
-
planning and scheduling of services and workload;
-
extensions of the above models to public sector.
Teaching methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
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
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
Continuous evaluation, with check points in itinere consisting of solving problems by using the techniques studied during the course. Precise details will be provided during the first lecture. The participation to the first lecture (either in person or remotely) is mandatory.
Other information
The lectures are delivered in English.
