Operations research concepts and applications in decision making.
Emphasis is on problem formulation and interpretation of results
using computer-based solution procedures.
OM 516 Operations Management. Three hours.
Prerequisite: Admission to MBA program.
This course will address the important concepts and issues related
to the design and management of business operations including
manufacturing, distribution, logistics, transportation, and service
operations. The course will demonstrate how certain quantitative
methods can be applied to the analysis and solution of problems that
arise in operations management.
OM 517 Supply Chain Modeling and Analysis. Three hours.
Prerequisite: OM 500 or OM 506.
This course provides a framework and quantitative methods for
designing, managing, and analyzing the supply chain operations
needed to support a firm's business strategy. Students will study
the structure of supply chain operations in terms of the following
categories: facilities, information, inventory and transportation.
Students will analyze the relationship between supply chain
structure and performance through case studies and examples that
require students to develop analytical models to support their
conclusions.
OM 522 Operations Scheduling Problems. Three hours.
Prerequisite: OM 500 or OM 506.
A broad investigation of a variety of scheduling activities in
production, logistics or service environment are discussed. Typical
topics include project scheduling, job-shop scheduling, routing
related problems and manpower scheduling.
OM 523 Inventory Management. Three hours.
Prerequisite: ST 509 or
ST 550 or
ST 560.
Control techniques for the large multi-term inventories frequently
associated with manufacturing supply and wholesale-retail operations
are studied. The limitations and usefulness of models in actual
practice are discussed. Coverage includes reorder-point procedures,
single-period problems, and dynamic situations.

Improvement. Three hours.
Prerequisite: Admission to Graduate Program.
An analytical study of strategies, tactics and techniques for
designing, evaluating, analyzing, controlling, and improving
processes. Emphasis is on topics such as Design for Flexibility,
Lean, Six Sigma, Constraint Management will be included along with
process applications of OM analytical tools such as simulation,
queuing analysis, and value stream mapping.
