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 1 principally covers the strategic areas of OM, which devise an enterprise's infrastructure and organization in the long term, typically involving complex and expensive decisions. After giving a overview of the relevant themes of strategic OM, the various topics are discussed in detail and illustrated with examples. Furthermore, methodologically oriented chapters provide insight into the quantitative techniques of OM. The course comprises in particular the following subjects:

- Introduction to OM, concepts, decisions and objectives
- Strategy of OM
- Basics of process analysis
- Product planning
- Process and facility planning
- Layout planning
- Elements of queueing theory
- Capacity and location planning
