pace and measure their progress. myomlab’s homework and practice questions are correlated to the textbook,
and they are regenerated algorithmically to give students unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery. Questions
include learning aids for extra help at point-of-use, and they offer helpful feedback when students enter incorrect
answers.
myomlab’s study plan helps students monitor their own progress, letting them see at a glance exactly which topics
they need to practice. myomlab generates a personalized study plan for each student based on his or her test results,
and the study plan links directly to interactive, tutorial exercises for topics the student hasn't yet mastered. Students
can regenerate these exercises with new values for unlimited practice, and the exercises include guided solutions
and multimedia learning aids to give students the extra help they need.
Course Objectives:
• To familiarize the student with the general problems and concepts of operations management in production and
service; how they relate to one another and to the other functional areas of an organization..
• To enable the student to appropriately and correctly use basic quantitative techniques and interpret their managerial
consequences.
