Module code: OIM7016-A
This module provides you with the necessary quantitative techniques and tools to design and operate and decision support tools for evaluation of managerial decision making in the area of sustainable operations management and supply chain management. At the end of the module you will be able to effectively use selective quantitative and qualitative decision tools such as multi criteria decision making and decision making under uncertainty in order to support sustainability in operations management at a graduate level.
This module covers quantitative based techniques in the design, operation and evaluation of sustainable operations and supply chains. The techniques can be used to model quantitative and qualitative decision problems in operations and supply chain management. The module syllabus is classified in four blocks as follows:
Block 1: Decision making process in Operations Management within manufacturing and services
Block 2: Multiple criteria decision making using Goal Programming and the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) and Analytical Network process (ANP) in the Operations Management context.
Block 3: System thinking and system dynamic for decision support and sustainable management.
Block 4: Decision making under uncertainty using Decision Trees and Discrete Simulation Methods
