Teaching Methodologies
The operations management dealt with in this course includes the activities of planning, directing and controlling the execution of the operations needed to realise the projects.
Within the scope of planning, students are made aware of the advantages of contacting several companies for the execution of each activity, and of carrying out advance planning of all the work to be carried out, based both on the proposals received and on historical information resulting from the execution of previous projects, including the identification and characterisation of the tasks necessary for the execution of the projects, taking into account any constraints and the respective executors.
At this stage, the importance of support facilities for project execution is also analysed, and the knowledge needed to design these facilities is passed on.
In terms of management and control, time, cost and quality are addressed, assessing the work being carried out in order to identify deviations and anticipate events that require corrective action. Considering that payment for work carried out depends on the work carried out during the same period, the knowledge needed to draw up monthly progress reports is passed on.
