GRA 6719 Operations 2 Responsible for the course Stein Erik Grønland Department Department of Strategy and Logistics Term According to study plan ECTS Credits 6 Language of instruction English Introduction In this course, the students will learn key models and strategies for operations management and how to apply these. Learning outcome Acquired knowledge: Understand the interaction between batching and inventory. Understand how various strategies can be used to better coordinate supply chains. Understand how service time variability can impact a process. Understand the basic trade offs in supply network design and supply chain planning. Understand how the use of LP and MIP models can reduce suboptimisation in such systems. Acquired skills: Be able to estimate the impact of setups on capacity and calculate a theoretically optimal batch size in presence of setup times. Be able to measure variability of a process and analyse an arrival prosess. Be able to predict average waiting times for simple cases. Be able to estimate throughput loss for a queue with one single resource. Be able to estimate the effects of using risk pooling strategies. Be able to construct and the most basic LP and MIP based models for supply network design and supply chain planning using a standard solver. Be able to perform capacity analyses using models for supply network design and supply chain planning.
