This course provides a general introduction to operations management. Operations Management studies the process by which inputs of materials, labor, capital and information are transformed into products and services which the consumers are willing to pay for. These processes can be managed well or poorly. Knowledge introduced in this course will help you understand the reasons for both.
The main objective of this course is to introduce tools and techniques that are needed to understand operations and supply chain processes and to provide students with the ability to analyze and continuously improve these processes.
Introduction: definition of production and operations management, classification of productive systems, type of decisions.
Part 1: operational decisions, namely the day-to-day management of production at the level of a workshop: scheduling in specialized workshops, inventory management by order point, calendar inventory management;
Part 2: tactical decisions, namely management of the production level at the level of a production center: planning of component requirements, just-in-time method;
Part 3: strategic decisions, i.e. decisions that relate to the company's long-term strategy: project management (for the launch of a new product or the construction of a new factory), design of a new factory (location, capacity decision, organization of production).
Part 4: Logistics for the company, namely the management of external flows (transport) and the management of internal flows of the company (stock management and production planning).

At the end of each chapter of the syllabus, statements of application exercises are offered to students. An example of a solution will be presented at the end of each course and students are invited to solve the other exercises on their own, the solutions of which will subsequently be communicated on WebCampus.
Students will form groups to carry out group work applying the models and methods seen in the course. The work will be graded and will count for 25% of the final grade.

The teaching modes in this course are of two types:
In the first session, such as in second session, a written exam to resolve closed-book exercises which will test the achievement of the following objectives:
Objective 1: resolve a scheduling or inventory management problem.
Objective 2: solve a production planning problem.
Objective 3: resolve a project management or production center design problem.
Objective 4 : formulation and resolution of a supply chain problem.
