Module Description

Production and Operations Management

ECTS-Credits:
3
Lernziele:

Manufacturing companies, with their typical performance systems of products and associated services, form the basis of modern economies. For this reason, business economists should be familiar with the specific challenges of such companies, regardless of their future field of work.
The field of production management focusses on the planning, control and monitoring of production; in the field of operations management, its systematic optimization is added. Accordingly, this course spans from qualitative, causal understanding of production systems to the quantitative, mathematically based control decisions.
