Operations Engineering and Management Chapter 7

Operations engineering and management deals with designing and analyzing production and service processes to ensure business operations are efficient and effective in meeting customer needs. Key aspects include operations planning using life cycle and forecasting models, project management using critical path analysis and managing constrained resources, production scheduling for different manufacturing environments like job shops and continuous flow, inventory management for various demand situations, capacity management of resources, materials requirements planning, and maintenance management. Operational metrics around cost, quality, delivery, and productivity are also considered.
