Course details

This module introduces trainees to the fundamental analytic methods in operations management. It is meant to give trainees a firm understanding in various techniques and practical tools that are commonly used in the analysis of OM problems. The module teaches the trainees advanced techniques in modelling and simulation. Through various demonstrations and exercises using FlexSim, trainees will learn how to model complex production and service systems and how to analyse and optimise them. The second topic presents an introduction to queuing systems and how to manage and simulate them. Queues are the basic tools in modelling production and service systems. Optimisation is another skill that is fundamental to OM analysis. Trainees will learn to formulate problems, learn linear programming and how to solve simple optimisation problems using a mathematical tool. The last topic is on networks. Graphs and trees will be taught and their applications to various problems in OM will be elucidated. The module will be supported by various hands-on exercises using Matlab, Lindo, and FlexSim. Application of the techniques learnt will be demonstrated through simple problems in Module 2: Operations Analysis planning, scheduling, forecasting, inventory control and logistics.
