BSBA - Operations Management Major

The field of operations management (OM) originated in manufacturing where it is sometimes called production management. However, today we know that the concepts apply equally to the creation of goods and services. OM is about getting things done within an organization using systems and methods that are efficient and effective.

OM majors learn about design, operation, control and updating of productive processes. Topics include quality control, process improvement, capacity analysis, inventory control, materials requirement planning (MRP), project management, forecasting, Japanese manufacturing techniques or Just-in-time production, linear programming, queuing systems and simulation.

Graduates in OM often work in the area of production planning, inventory control, operations analysis, materials management. Since most of the work today in operations is done with information systems, our majors are required to learn a programming language and encouraged to take courses in the MIS area as well as their required classes in OM.

BSBA - MIS/Operations Management Double Major

A double major in Management Information Systems and Operation Management can provide you with a very powerful career edge.

No matter what industry an enterprise is involved in, there are two things that you can count on. You can bet that there are inefficiencies in their processes. And you can bet that at least some aspect of their business relies on information technology.

From grocery stores to automakers, business entities deal with resource limitations, bottlenecks and queuing issues. Whether their supply chain is as simple as vendor-business-customer or as complex as the U.S. government's, they all have to coordinate processes to ensure that their product and/or service is available to the customer when the customer is ready, willing and able to buy. This involves collecting data and transforming it into information that can be used to evaluate, plan and monitor.

Combining studies in Operations Management and Management of Information Systems will give you a deeper understanding of the issues involved in making processes as efficient and effective as possible.

By taking only two additional courses, you can increase your potential and your value to future employers. If you are willing to exert a little more effort the rewards can be well worth it.

You must have completed two years of pre-business courses, have completed the Professional Program Admissions and have been accepted into the MIS/OM major.
