COMM 399 Logistics and Operations Management

Logistics and Operations Management (LOM) issues are important in all organizations that deliver services or goods. These issues usually have a profound impact on the bottom line and success of each organization. This course will show that these issues need to be given adequate attention in the organization, and if they are down played or overlooked, there is a high risk for detrimental effects on profitability, service levels, customer retention and delivery of quality. Due to the broad nature of the subject it is important to educate professionals with a proper understanding of these issues. The primary objective of this course is to provide the students with an introduction to LOM.

During the course students will learn about the strategic relevance of LOM, frequently used terms, process design and analysis, product development impact on operations, forecasting and capacity analysis, inventory management and production planning, supply chain management including purchasing and logistics as well as quality philosophies. We will primarily review issues that an operations executive should consider in his/her field of responsibility. In order to enhance the capabilities of an organization, so that the firm can achieve a sustaining competitive advantage vis-à-vis its global competitors, all executives and professionals need to have an understanding of LOM.

This course is relevant for students who want to pursue a career in LOM and also for students who wish to understand some of the important workings inside a company in the manufacturing, service or retail sectors. For students who will not be involved in managing operations, there is still a need to discuss issues with operations and technical experts, understand their great financial impact and be able to call on the people with the appropriate skill sets to resolve issues. For anybody in the financial/accounting side of an organization, the LOM part is tightly knitted with the capabilities to perform an outstanding job. Vice a versa, for an LOM executive it is important to have a deep understanding of the financials/accounting side of an organization. Any general manager candidate needs to understand LOM.

COMM 398 Introduction to Business Processes and Operations

This is an introductory course in Operations Management and Logistics for non business majors. The primary aim of this course is to provide a high level introduction to operational issues in business.

Operations managers are concerned with the efficient production and distribution of high quality products and services. Traditionally, operations managers have focused on the processes involved in manufacturing and distribution. Increasing competition has forced firms to take a holistic view of their business processes. It has become clear to many firms that to achieve greater efficiency and quality, it is necessary to coordinate their decisions with those of their various business partners (suppliers and customers). Operations managers now are responsible for making decisions that affect and manage the entire supply chain. They are responsible for the planning, design, operation, control and improvement of various processes involved from the time a customer places an order to the time the product is delivered. In addition, they need to managing relationships with the other supply chain partners. The challenge for operations managers is to manage these relationships efficiently and to produce and deliver goods and services in accordance with the business strategy of their company.

This course will provide students with the skills to analyze different types of business processes. Students will get insights and intuition on issues faced by operations managers and will improve their business decision making skills. This will be accomplished by understanding: (i) the business environment and the nature of important operational problems, (ii) the principles, issues and trade-offs relevant in operations management and (iii) traditional and state of the art strategies employed by firms to improve operations.

PhD Courses

MGT 3041 Seminar in Operations Management
This course consists of presentations by invited speakers on current issues in Operations Management, as well as student presentations on the research projects they are involved in. A variety of applied and theoretical topics are covered. Normally students attend this course throughout their tenure in the program, however it is only taken for credit once, usually in the second year of studies. In the term when the course is taken for credit the student is required to turn in a substantial research paper and to present the results in class.
MGT 3045 Advanced Topics in Operations Management - I
MGT 3046 Advanced Topics in Operations Management - II
These courses provides students with in-depth analysis of some of the theory and methods of Operations Management and form the primary “foundation” courses for the PhD studies. The topics covered vary from year to year. They are typically drawn from the following list:

Theory of Production Planning and Control
Inventory Theory
Logistics
Modelling Service Operations
Facility Location
Students who have already taken MGT3045 for credit, but wish to study the special topic offered in a particular year are encouraged to take the course again (using the MGT3090 course number for the second registration).
