Description

Operations and supply chain decisions are no longer mere operational details; they are critical drivers of competitive advantage. In markets with intense pressure on costs, sustainability, and customer expectations, a well-thought-out operations strategy is essential. In the Operations Strategy master's module, you will explore operations as a strategic engine for value creation. You will examine how value propositions translate into order qualifiers and order winners, and how to use these to make strategic choices regarding process design, capacity, location, vertical integration, and supply chain structure. You will utilize frameworks from scholars such as Hill, Hayes & Wheelwright, Fisher, and Olhager to analyze and justify these decisions. Additionally, you will look into planning structures, decoupling points, and supply chain integration, including prerequisites such as IT, infrastructure, and competencies. Ultimately, you will learn how to design operations and supply chains that fully support business strategy and drive operational excellence, customer value, and agility.
