Introduction
The
objective of this course, for students in general, those who wish to specialise
in this field or those planning to start their own businesses is to teach the
principal aspects in the application of operations management in manufacturing
or services as well as a multitude of organisational tools, planing and
regulating that allow to meet the objectives of this important function. Through the use of a systemic approach, we
will examine the production system and its underlying systems, while studying
their relations and interdependence and how they contribute to the definition
of a strategy for a business. The
following underlying systems will be examined: planning and regulating
production and stocks, quality, facilities, project management and sequencing.

Final comments
To help you to prepare and succeed your exam
please note the followings:
1)
The
Operation Management is a quantitative course and I know that in the class,
probably, there are persons without a quantitative profile. The exam will be
similar to the assignments.
2)
You
have not to memorize mathematical formulas, you should only understand how to
apply them and during the exam you can use a personnel formulas sheet.
3)
If I were you I will
start by reviewing the lecture notes, redo the assignments, do the solved problems,
read the chapters Highlights and understand the signification of the Key Terms
at the end of each chapter.
4)
As some of you will
note, I will stress a logical and systematic approach to problems and problem
solving rather than focusing on the absolute numeric answers.
