The core course objective for Introduction to Operations Management will be
to enable the student to understand the importance of:

1. LEARNING
OBJECTIVES AND
GOALS
Production and Operations Management (terminology, classifications,
and technological trends).
 Planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the Input/output Process
(principles, generalizations, and theories) and how the supply chain
environment is affected by technological advancements.
 Developing specific quantitative skills, competencies, and points of
view needed by organizations involved in the Input/output Process.
 Organizational behavior orientation necessary to successfully carry
out POM processes.
 And finally, the transfer of the learning process to out of class or “real
world” scenarios.
Students will learn:
 The activities along the supply chain that have to do with transforming
inputs into outputs both in the form of tangible (manufactured goods)
and intangible (service) products.
 Why operations management drives the profitability of every
organization and is therefore an extremely important educational
building block for any business student.
 What is involved in the “birth and development” from an operations
management perspective of a product to include organizing a supply
chain and designing a virtual production facility.
 How people skills and emotional intelligence drive success in
operations management through discussions of real-world
experiences, current trends, and “people skills” type training tools.
 Quantitative techniques and technologies that affect operations
management decision making (i.e., forecasting, facility location,
waiting line theory, and project scheduling and tracking tools)

Plagiarism Notice: Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. Plagiarism is a form of cheating in which a student
tries to pass off someone else's work or part of it as his or her own. It usually takes the form of presenting
thoughts, terms, phrases, passages from the work of others as one's own. When it occurs it is usually found in
essays, research papers or term papers. Typically, passages or ideas are 'lifted' from a source without proper
credit being given to the source and its author. To avoid suspicion of plagiarism you should use appropriate
references and footnotes. If you have any doubt as to what constitutes plagiarism you should consult your
instructor. You should be aware that there are now internet tools that allow each submitted paper to be
checked for plagiarism. Remember plagiarism is serious and may result in a reduced or failing grade or other
disciplinary actions.
Cheating: Cheating in any form whatsoever is unacceptable and will subject you to IBU disciplinary procedures.
Cheating includes signing in others for attendance, exams or anything else; using prohibited electronic and
paper aides; having others do your work; having others do your work, copying from others or allowing others
to copy from you etc. Please do not cheat in any way! Please consult me if you have any questions.
