Course description This course provides knowledge and insights on the basic concepts and principles of Operations and Production Management in both manufacturing and service settings. In addition, the course aims at developing students' skills in using quantitative methods to solve and analyze problems related to Operations Management. Furthermore, the course focuses in preparing students for future operations related careers, and exposing them to the complexity of decision making in real life. The focus on the operations perspective aims at providing the students with sufficient insights on the crucial role of operations to achieving a competitive advantage and increasing profitability. 15. Course Intended Learning Outcomes: PILOs a) Apply problem solving and decision making skills b) Utilize strategic planning and analysis skills and optimal utilization of human resources skills through human resource management and organizational behavior 1 JUBS-March 2017
