HM 6029 - Operations


Operations play a critical role in executing company strategy by integrating the diverse activities representing the productive capacity of a company to create value for customers, profit for shareholders, and other stakeholder benefits. This course presents the frameworks and models that allow mid-level managers to think strategically about operations and implement systematic, world-class solutions to increase process efficiency, productivity, quality, and speed while creating strategic "fit". Students examine organizational and analytic tools necessary to refine operational processes and develop best practices. All these considerations are integrated with the notion of achieving the quadruple bottom line of enhancing the position positions of people, planet, profit, guided by purpose.
