This track in the Operations Management master’s degree combines the prescriptive modeling and analytical skills arising from the OM program with the data management and data mining skills arising from the SAS-UA Data Mining certification program offered in the Statistics program.
Housed inside the Operations Management Track are two focus areas of research: Operations Management, and Enterprise Integration.
Focus Area of Research I: Operations Management
The focused area of study in operations management (OM) is designed to prepare students for the practice of operations management. The program is structured to provide instruction in materials management, scheduling and control, supply chain management, and quality control as well as topics in applied quantitative methods such as optimization, statistics, and simulation. The elective courses allow students to obtain additional instruction in other subjects such as project management, supply chain strategy, and quality management.

The enterprise integration systems (EI) focused area of study is designed to prepare students to enable business process improvement through information technology-based solutions. The EI area of study provides a depth of knowledge in project management, workflow design, and information systems delivery through a combination of classroom and project experiences. The program reinforces leading project and process management concepts through experiential learning. Students will gain experience in leading teams that analyze, design, construct, and deploy cross-functional systems, and integrate business data and process improvements into existing business enterprises.
Decision Analytics Concentration
