Course 3: Smart Operations Management

Course 3: Smart Operations Management 

(Syllabus)

Last Update: May 21th,  2020

Course Objective:

The objective of this course is to develop competences on design and implementation of continuous and efficient operations while creating a digital copy of the end-to-end process. The Internet of Thing (IoT) system to collect real time data need to be discovered. Real-time data analytics can help to evaluate, and simulate the end-to-end operation to improve and manage all operations efficiently. Emphasis is on cross-enterprise integration of the physical and virtual systems among various functions including operation strategy, process design, capacity planning, facility location and design, forecasting, production scheduling and inventory control.

Learning Outcomes: The students on the completion of this course would be able to:

    • apply knowledge and methods from the advanced science of industrial engineering to model, evaluate and improve industrial processes and systems in relation with company operating efficiency and customer service.
    • create smart production concepts in planning and controlling company’s operations.
    • design real time data analytics and software systems to support planning, scheduling and control of smart production processes and systems.
    • design smart production processes and systems to efficiently respond to changes in operating conditions.
