TRA 6158 and TRA 3151 Operations Management

To successfully adapt and conquer the challenges of today’s global and changing business world, business students need to engage not only in the analytical tools and technologies but also in the holistic understanding of systems and processes of making products and services regardless of their specialty area” Yazici, H.

 

The course focuses on the concept of operations in the manufacturing and service business environment.

Students will learn how to manage product/service design, processes of making/delivering products/ services, total quality management and six sigma principles, the value chain, lean and JIT systems, project management and scheduling.  Effects of quantitative methods such as forecasting, statistical quality/process control, breakeven /profit analysis, risk simulation, layout analysis, and project scheduling on operation processes are learned.  The course centers on how these methods / techniques enhance the making and delivering the processes of an organization.

The course encourages idea generation, problem framing, analytical problem solving, verbal and written communication skills, and integration of business knowledge as emphasized by the COB learning outcomes and the mission statement.  These skills are utilized during the real life work experiences 

QMB 3200 Quantitative Methods for Business, Econ and Stat II

In today’s fast evolving, global business world, decisions made using analytical tools will prevail while decisions made by intuition, feeling and little or no information will fail-

 

Statistics is the science of collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data to assist in making more effective decisions.  The purpose of this course is to learn how statistics can be implemented to business problems.  Research methodology for collection and analysis of quantitative data is emphasized.  Statistical concepts and techniques are learned and used to provide solutions to business problems. 

 

The course covers descriptive and inferential statistics.  The latest application of these techniques to business will be discussed thru articles, and case studies. The course encourages analytical problem solving and critical thinking, integrated knowledge of business, idea generation, communication through writing and presentation, and behavioral skills.
