Production and Operations Management
Objectives
In the end of this course the students must have competencies and expertise on:
O1: Understand the importance of the production and operations management in the organizations;
O2: Identify and characterize several production environments;
O3: Characterize main production costs and production capacities;
O4: Establish aggregate plans and master production plans;
O5: Define materials and resources needs according to the MRP logic;
O6: Schedule operations in different production systems (ERP, JIT/Lean, TOC).
CO: In addition to the specific technical competencies of the subjects, students are expected to develop group work and leadership skills, dialogue, and communication capabilities.

Teaching method
Lectures are carried out combining theoretical classes and applied classes.
In theoretical classes course concepts and models are explained, discussed, and exemplified including in some cases the use of video projections, stimulating student participation during the lectures.
In practical classes, exercises and case studies are analyzed and discussed. To develop and improve other competencies and capacities, game simulations are sometimes used in classes. Computer classes are also administrated for case analysis using mainly spreadsheets and software applications available.
Teamwork is also promoted either in theoretical research work or in the analysis of at least one case study (GA), discussed and presented in class.
Evaluation method
The final evaluation of the curricular unit (UC) will be based on the following elements:
• Course FREQ occurs with the delivery of the T1 and GAs works
• Individual assessment (IA: 30%Ts / EX)
• WorkGroup assessment (GA): developed on a Project case study-based
The course final grade will be composed as follows:
CA = 0,60xIA (30%Ts or EX) + 0,40xGA
For approval in UC, a minimum classification of CA course final grade of 10/20v
