Section Information for Fall 2024

This Costello College of Business core course provides an examination of the principal functions of
operations managers in various settings, with strong emphasis on service operations, in regard to how
they operate and function. Analytic models are used to describe key planning and control activities.
Operations and supply chain management (OSCM) is responsible for the production of goods and services
in an organization and their delivery to the customer. It not only has a significant impact on other areas
such as marketing, finance, and accounting within an organization, but more importantly, also impacts
the external customers of the organization. It is therefore no surprise that the performance of an
organization is often largely determined by the performance of its operations area. To gain competitive
advantage, operations managers pursue effectiveness and efficiency in value-adding processes at both
not-for-profit and for-profit organizations. This course covers a wide range of OSCM subjects that a
student may encounter during their professional careers, including operations strategy, process selection,
lean management, project management, quality management, inventory control, and supply chain
management. Students develop both qualitative and quantitative OSCM skills through reading, videos,
lectures, class discussions, homework, quizzes, and exams.
