Define Mission-Strategy relationship and describe operations/production strategies. III. Define logistics operations. IV. Identify different location and distribution models and compare them. V. Identify logistics and supply chain networks VI. Define supply chain and why bullwhip effect occurs. VII. Define capacity and aware of different capacity management models. VIII. Be familiar of benefits and risks of inventory and inventory management techniques. IX. Define waste and lean production. X. Describe quality and different quality management tools. |
Description of Operations Management and Operations Strategy. Discussion of basic topics in logistics operations, such as design of supply networks, location and layout, capacity management, inventory management, lean management, and quality. |
