MS 3405 - Advanced Operations Management 3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
This course describes the value of and an approach to develop a manufacturing operations strategy. Also addressed is the need to align manufacturing with overall organizational strategic plans and objectives. Manufacturing’s early involvement in the planning process is critical. Typically manufacturing’s active involvement takes place late in the planning cycle. This course will address why the late involvement exists and the need for early involvement. Late involvement often leads to a flawed strategy and/or strategies difficult for manufacturing to successfully support. A factor in the flawed approach is often due to manufacturing’s excessive attention to day-to-day issues. The day-to-day necessity may also be symptomatic of a flawed manufacturing process. Late involvement provides little time to assess and acknowledge current system flaws. Building a strategy from a flawed system or process is a potentially devastating situation. (prereq: MS 340 )
