Module Contents:

 Operations Management (OM) basically deals with an enterprise's operational systems and processes, i.e. the central value-generating business areas responsible for the creation and delivery of products and services. Principal functions of OM are the "design", "operation" and continuous adaptation and "improvement" of these areas. Quantitative Operations Management (cf. Operations Research) is concerned with the analysis and optimization of specific problems of OM by means of mathematical models and methods.

Operations Management 2 principally covers the tactical and operational areas of OM which shape the dayto-day business and comprise the mid- and short-term planning and control of the operational processes. After giving a overview of the relevant themes of operational OM, the various topics are discussed in detail and illustrated with examples. Furthermore, methodologically oriented chapters provide insight into the quantitative
techniques of operational OM. The course comprises in particular the following subjects:
- Forecasting
- Production planning and control: overview
- Aggregate planning: sales & operations planning, master production scheduling
- Detailed planning: material requirements planning (MRP), capacity requirements planning (CRP)
- Lot sizing
- Inventory management
- Shop floor scheduling and control
- Lean production & just-in-time (JIT)
