The course will develop student’s knowledge in three areas: operations research, production and operations management, and project management.First part of the course i.e. Operations Research undertakes the study of some of the prominent and analytical techniques which are used to make more informed decisions in today’s complex manufacturing world. During this part students would learn how to use mathematical tools to solve manufacturing, forecasting, transportation and queuing problems. They would be introduced to the problem solving and decision making processes and would develop mathematical models for analyzing real world problems.Operation Management, second part of the course addresses the management of operations in manufacturing organizations. Efficient operations can provide a firm with major competitive advantages by enhancing its ability to respond to consumer and market requirements quickly, at a low cost, and with high quality. In this part various Production and Operations activities such as capacity planning, inventory control, and scheduling would be discussed.
