Aims/ Objectives/ Rationale:


The module emphasises on the quantitative approaches to decision making related to operations management. The module aims to provide students with the skills to examine the management of an organisation’s productive resources or its production system that converts ‘inputs’ into final organisation’s products/ services. It also equips students with the essential operational management techniques and quantitative methods that can be readily applied to real world problems. The students are expected to develop the ability to identify and frame complex strategic issues in operations (both services and manufacturing processes), and to suggest solutions that are reasonably sound and robust.
