Description: This course considers the operations executive’s role in delivering to corporate objectives, in peer-to-peer executive relationships, and in operations organization leadership. The student will select a business case study that applies concepts discussed in the textbook, such as capacity planning, supply chain management, cost reduction and technology insertion. In preparing the case study, the student will consider the influence of process maturity, process improvement, corporate structure, and the operating challenges presented by the energy transition to a more carbon-neutral, climate-neutral future.
