Operation Management LaboratoriesLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

After finishing the course the student understands the effects of various operational actions in operations management. The student is able to choose appropriate development measures for the operating environment.

Content

Students will understand how the key best-practices in operation management impact the performance of an organization. How various best-practices, like batch sizes, production types and resource changes impact the lead time, capacity load and costs.

Qualifications

Manufacturing Management, Production Management Simulation Systems
