Aims
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 ;
o 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 and teaching methods
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. The quantitative tools are introduced progressively with their relevance.
Methods
Lecture and exercises (cases and problems).
