COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course (OPEMANA / Operations Management) introducing the students to management tools
related to production and operation including concepts in value analysis and appropriate technology
as applied to small and medium scale industries.
LEARNING OUTCOMES (LO):
On completion of the course, the student is expected to be able to do the following:
ELGA
Effective communicators

Critical and creative thinkers

Technically proficient and

competent professionals and
leaders

Service-driven, ethical, and

socially responsible citizens

LEARNING OUTCOME
Present and explain solution to operations management
problems in class
Explain solutions to assigned cases
Criticize, evaluate, interpret, and draw conclusions from
the most recent development in the field of operations
management
Map the implications of production/operations
Use quantitative tools of operations management to solve
production/operations problems
Provide solutions that are implementable and economically
sound
Evaluate the economic and technical feasibility of
recommended solutions
Use computer software in solving operations/production
management problems
Design product/service, layout, job, inventory management
of production systems
Exhibit honesty, patience , and perseverance in solving
problems and performing case analysis
Recommend solutions to operations management problems
that will consider the legal, environmental and social
implication of suggested solutions

RUBRIC FOR ASSESSMENT:

Case Analysis Rubric
Insufficient
(absent, lacking, incomplete,
errors, inconsistent)
Criteria

Adequate
(accurate/complete but
focus on separate points
rather than integrating or
discussing the system)

Excellent
(complete, thorough, articulate,
showing understanding of
relationships among parts)

Content (coverage of content;

demonstration of understanding of case,
theory & application)

Purpose and focus of case (set

no mention of purpose identify purpose of

Brief description of theory

no discussion of theory clear and thorough

context, focus, and expectations): "The

purpose of this case discussion is to..."

picked for this case and how well

it fits

Description and explanation of

description of case but description of case

case using theory (familiarity and
without using terms and
using terms and concepts
appropriate use of terms): "Using this
concepts of theory
appropriately
theory, here's what ahppened and why..."
Intervention using theory (use of

intervention discussed
theory in suggesting solution to
problem): "Using this theory, here are
but unclear; terms, concepts
some ways the situation could have been or procedures not used well
prevented or changed..."

clear and thorough coverage

clear points of

description using terms and

concepts with emphasis on how
they explain the case and are
related to each other

clear intervention using

terms, etc., with discussion of

intervention using terms, how parts of problem and
concepts, and practices but intervention are related and
with separate parts of the might affect each other
problem

Conclusion/evaluation

(consideration of use and value of theory

no conclusion or utility strengths and
in explaining and intervening in this kind
weaknesses of theory
of theory discussed
of case): "Here's how useful this theory
applied to case identified
was in examining this kind of case..."

strengths and weaknesses

identified, and alternate theories

or additional needs suggested

Presentation (presentation skills)

Graphics (quality, appropriateness, no graphics
and added value of audio-visuals)

graphics but hard to

clear, legible, attractive

read, interpret, or do not
graphics that add value to
clearly follow explanation presentation by clarifying or

summarizing

Presenter's role (evident teamwork, not all members make each member presents members present separately
but show smooth transitions and
collaboration and practice in
separate section of
presentation)

Presenter's style (verbal and

nonverbal skill in presentation)

presentation

barely audible,

Reflection (thinking back on your

presentation, how you prepared,
delivered it, and how you worked
together-- what you might have done
differently to improve it)

how they are related; may

contribute mutually

audible, clear,

interested but lacking

coherent, articulate,
awkward speech or gestures, practiced smoothness and
enthusiastic, confident,
distracting habits or
enthusiasm; good eye
appropriate nonverbals
mannerisms
contact & matching
gestures

Class discussion (involving class in little or no effort to

discussion of case, theory, application,
utility, strengths & weaknesses, etc.)

persentation

elicit questions or lead

discussion

elicits questions and

elicits questions from presents questions for discussion
class and discusses them

to class regarding case or theory;

good facilitation skills

thorough consideration of
little or no discussion of limited suggestions of how presentation, graphics,
how presentation might

have been improved

teamwork, and other presentation

efforts could have been improved
