General Information

Overview

In today's dynamic business landscape, organisations strive for operational excellence and data-driven decision-making. Operations management and business analytics offer a comprehensive exploration of the synergies between efficient operations and the strategic use of data analytics. The unit explores the contemporary principles and practices involved in the management of both service and manufacturing operations. Taking a strategic approach to operations, you will examine fundamental concepts such as process planning, design, control and Six Sigma continuous improvement; quality management and lean thinking; the role of the supply chain in modern operations; capacity and location principles as well as the use of project-based activities in an operational environment. You will utilise business data from a variety of organisational sources including financial, economic and market information and develop mathematical models for more effective operational decisions.
