Module description
When managing operations, there are many aspects to consider, which can determine the success of a business. For instance, is it best to make your product with hand tools, or do you want to mass produce with moulds, but face huge costs when a design changes and you must re-tool? Designing a company's resources is central to operations management and a key focus of this module. This module provides you with practical, hands-on experience using operations management related software to analyse operations, supported by case exercises and video discussions. You’ll also gain exposure to Big Data analytics and its transformative potential in operations management—no prior technical or programming knowledge is required. A laboratory session will introduce you to Industry 4.0 concepts in the Exeter Digital Enterprise System (ExDES) laboratory, highlighting their relevance to modern operations management.
