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
