1/5

Class: MBA (Sem.-II)_2015-17, School of Management, KIIT University

Course: Production and Operations Management (POM)

Course Objective:

Production and operations management (POM) deals with the design and operation of the system producing goods and

services. It will explore the ways operations managers approach and analyze strategic decisions in operations with a

focus on designing products and processes, allocating scarce resources to strategic alternatives, and long-range capacity

and facility planning. These operations functions help in achieving the long-range broader organizational objectives.

Subsequent focus will be on medium and short term planning and control activities. Care will be taken to strike a

balance between theoretical and practical perspectives in manufacturing and service organizations. The course

objectives are:

(a) To develop an understanding of the strategic importance of operations and how operations can provide a

competitive advantage in the marketplace.

(b) To develop knowledge of the issues related to designing and managing operations from a supply chain

management perspective.

(c) To sensitize students to the synergy in the concepts of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Total Quality

Management (TQM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supply Chain Management (SCM).

(d) To understand the relationship between operations and other business functions, such as, Marketing, Finance,

Accounting, and Human Resources.

Learning Outcomes:

Students will be able to achieve the learning objectives as included in each of the topics to be covered during this

semester (see the session plan). After going through this course students will be able to:

Identify the elements of operations and supply chain management.

Identify the various transformation processes in supply chains of their choice.

TENTATIVE COURSE PLAN


2/5

Curriculum: The topics in POM will enable decision making relating to the process, capacity, inventory, work-force and quality. The

first half of the course will focus on long-term strategic decisions in operations management. There will be some

exposure to mid-range planning aspects. Topics will include: Operations strategy and Competitiveness, Product design

and process selection for manufacturing and service firms, Human resources in operations – job design and work

measurement, Forecasting and planning future activity levels, Long-range capacity planning, Facility location and

layout, Project Management, Aggregate Sales and Operations Planning

The second half of the course is designed to concentrate on operational aspects of manufacturing and service systems.

The focus will be on mid-to-short term planning and control where production capacity is assumed to be fixed. The

emphasis will be on optimal utilization of resources, efficiency, quality and cost control. Topics will include:

Disaggregation, Master production schedule (MPS), Inventory Management, Material requirements planning (MRP),

Just-in-Time and Lean Production, Manufacturing resource planning (MRP-II) and Enterprise Resource Planning,

Operations Scheduling, Statistical Process Control and Acceptance Sampling, Waiting Line Models for Service

Improvement.

Mode of learning:

A participatory approach would be adopted to enhance learning by doing. Students will be urged to adopt as many

learner-centric methods as possible to maximize their learning in this course. The role of the instructor will be to

facilitate learning through two main components: a body of knowledge component disseminated through text and

lecture material, and a critical thinking component acquired through situation analysis and discussion. Three different

text books are given to the students in each section to encourage cross referencing. Additional reading materials will be

provided where needed.
