Operations Management

This course covers the fundamentals of operations management as they apply to both production and service-based operations. Operations management is a science with which we are all, in some capacity, familiar. We all have scarce resources and have to allocate those resources properly. In the realm of business, operations management can be quite complicated; if any step of the process is disrupted, the whole process can stall or fall apart. Even for managers who don't work in operations, savviness in operations management will be able to improve just about any process. This free course may be completed online at any time. See course site for detailed overview and learning outcomes. (Business Administration 300)
