Firms can create competitive advantage through the efficient management of their operations across the supply chain. To do so, they must find optimal or near-optimal solutions to the various operations and supply chain management decisions they face by applying analytical models and tools. This course offers various quantitative tools and techniques that firms can use for effectively and efficiently managing their operations, including supply chain network design, location decisions, aggregate planning, inventory management, risk pooling, distribution strategies, process flowcharting, analysis of process capacity and bottlenecks, and waiting line management. These concepts and tools will be applied to both manufacturing and service operations problems.
