Course Design Process to Create a Coordinated, Experiential, Integrated Core Operations Management Course for Business Majors
Hoefle, Scott; Ott, Willard B.; Scherpereel, Christopher M.; Williams, Susan K.
Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, v18 n2 p249-269 Apr 2020
We describe our process for transforming a traditional, core operations management/supply chain management (OM/SCM) course into an experiential, integrated, and coordinated course. We developed a vision to create a course that all business majors would find engaging and relevant and that faculty would teach consistently and at the same level of rigor. A primary result was three new learning outcomes that focused on concept integration across operations, the supply chain, and the business. We specifically focused on decision trade-offs and the effects of OM/SCM decisions on other parts of operations, the supply chain, and the business. The redesigned course has been implemented for three semesters. Our experiences offer new insights for redesigning and coordinating an OM/SCM core course and a process that can be implemented in other redesign efforts.
