MBA 544 Operations Analysis
This course focuses on building a framework for understanding how operations decisions are made and how those decisions shape the firm's ability to effectively utilize its physical and human resources. It further explores how the physical and human resources help meet customer requirements through processes that convert diverse inputs into customer-valued outputs. Key topics include metrics for flow rate, flow time, and work in process, and the influence of resource decisions, uncertainty, buffering, batching, and control policies like "push" and "pull." Excel-based simulations and case studies are used to illustrate the principles and concepts listed above.
