The focus of this course is not people but processes, not outside the organisation but within. Operations transform materials, information and customers to create goods and services using staff and facilities. Their strategic objectives differ and guide how they define their processes. We study process types from projects and jobs to batches and mass goods and services. We explore layout: how to arrange facilities and staff. We see how capacity and inventory reconcile demand and output and explore lean processes, supply chains, quality, improvement, projects, risk and resilience. Prepare for both critical discussion of theory and application (operationalisation), including calculation.
