Operations Management

Curry College is hiring a part‑time Associate Lecturer to teach an asynchronous online section of Operations Management.

BUS 2550 - Operations Management - 3 credits

Operations management (OM) plans, organizes, coordinates, and controls the resources needed to produce goods and services. This course provides a management perspective of operations using a mathematical component. Concepts are arranged in progressive order from strategic to tactical, applying quantitative and qualitative analysis to OM concepts. Students explore the role of operations in building the firm’s competitive strength and fulfilling the firm’s goal of creating value and delivering customer satisfaction.

The course utilizes Excel‑based decision‑making tools and business analytics models to develop quantitative OM analyses. Finally, concepts are reinforced using marketplace OM simulations and mastered through an inquiry‑based project.
