Operations form the base of every organization, whether in manufacturing, service or non-profit industries. Operations Management and Logistics (OML) is a multidisciplinary field that addresses the efficiency and effectiveness of the operations of an organization. OML comprises disciplines such as product development, quality management, logistics, information systems, and human resource management. Operations extend from the performance management of a group of design engineers or building in quality-feedback loops to the precise prediction of production and delivery performance. Supply chain management and the design of information architectures for e-business are also part of operations management.
OML Master of Science (MSc) degree program provides theory, tools, and techniques for the management of operations. You will apply the knowledge that you gain during the program in the various projects, in which you will learn what it means to carry out your own research. You will learn how to analyze the current operational performance of an organization, how to explain it in terms of quality, cost, and time, and how to improve this performance by redesigning business processes.
Our program offers the students four tracks that consist of courses that belong together and master thesis subjects for which those courses are relevant:
- Analytics for Transport and Mobility (previously Transport and Mobility)
- Smart Industry (previously Manufacturing and Maintenance)
- Smart Services (previously Services)
- Supply Chain Management (previously Supply Chains)
