These modules introduce students to a broad range of operations management problems, tools and knowledge that operations managers need to deal with challenges and opportunities in their complex working environment. Students will be trained on the application of quantitative methods in operations planning with focuses on characterisation of operation problems and optimum solution implementation through modelling and analysis techniques including Linear Programming, Network Analysis, Decision Analysis, Forecasting and Time Series Analysis, Queuing Theory, and Simulation. The aim is to equip students with analytical skills necessary to carry out planning and process improvement, resource optimisation and decision alternatives evaluation for complex problems in logistics, manufacturing and service industries.
