OPM 311 Mathematical Techniques for Operations Management

5 CR

This course provides students with the foundational mathematical tools required for operations management including acceptance sampling; decision theory including its application under uncertain conditions; the application of probability theory to determine the reliability of systems; solution of linear programming problems using graphical and computational methods; and the application of learning curves for planning and scheduling. These techniques are introduced in this course and then exercised and practiced through repeated application to real problems in other courses.
Prerequisite(s): MATH& 146 with a C or better, and admission to the BASOPS program
