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.
