Teaching @ BYU Marriott School of Management
I’ll be teaching at BYU’s Business School as an Adjunct Professor. I’ll be teaching BUSM 361, Operations and Supply Chain Management. I’m excited to do this; it’ll only be part-time, 8AM – 9:20AM, on Tuesday and Thursday. This is somewhat of a recreational activity for me, while I keep my “real” job. I’m excited to be teaching.
Below is a rough list of topics that I’ll cover in the class:
CREATING VALUE THROUGH OPERATIONS AND SUPPLY CHAINS
- Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management
- Operations and Supply Chain Strategies
- Business Processes
- Managing Quality
ESTABLISHING THE OPERATIONS ENVIRONMENT
- Managing Projects
- Developing Products and Services
- Process Choice and Layout Decisions in Manufacturing and Services
- Managing Capacity
ESTABLISHING SUPPLY CHAIN LINKAGES
- Forecasting
- Sourcing Decisions and the Purchasing Process
- Logistics
PLANNING AND CONTROLLING OPERATIONS AND SUPPLY CHAINS
- Sales and Operations Planning (Aggregate Planning)
- Managing Inventory throughout the Supply Chain
- Managing Production across the Supply Chain
- Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma (DMAIC/DMADV)
- Managing Information Technologies across the Supply Chain
The items above are the topics in the book; I’m going to skim or skip some parts and focus on others. The class is a very broad survey of Operations and Supply Chain, but I plan to focus heavily on Lean, Six Sigma, and Queueing Theory.
This will be fun; I’m excited and I look forward to be teaching at BYU.

That sounds like a really cool (and very useful to me) class! I wish I had the chance to take it! I’m not really at all interested in management, but as a SupplyChain dev, it would probably come in handy. Any chance you’ll be sharing some info with the rest of us out here? (any suggestions for devs new to supply chain? i know you probably have some good info/suggestions)
When you were at amazon, were you a manager or a dev?
Have fun with the class!
I’d be interested to hear how Queueing Theory fits into the lean six sigma freamwork – can you share this?
Holy smokes! This is wonderful news. I am happy for your students– they will get world class training from you for sure! Congrats Pete.
