The census will be drawn
up of OM/SCM/SOM teachers throughout the 30 countries making up the THENEXOM
network. The census is self-administered,
i.e. each Operations Management, Supply
Chain Management and Service Operations Management teaching professional has
to enter their professional profile on the census website.
In principle, we will consider
OM/SCM/SOM teachers all those teaching courses of OM in the broad sense
or in some subset(s) of its content (see annexe).
If you do not teach but are an active researcher
in OM and SCM, we also invite you to enter your profile today, but
make sure that you write “No” in the
teaching OM cell on the census form.
The password which is issued to you on completion on the survey will be needed
to access at no cost the results of the census, the results of the survey, and
all the documents issued by the network.
Thank you in advance for participating in the census.
Thenexom General Coordinator
Joining the census is important. The THENEXOM network is one the official
mechanisms through which the European Commission is implementing its TUNING
project, i.e. its project to standardise Higher Education delivery across Europe.
Your input is needed to shape the future of operations and supply chain management
teaching in Europe.
Annexe
Operations
Management (OM) is concerned with the way organisations produce
goods and services, and in particular the tasks, issues and decisions
of those
operations managers who deliver the
services or make the products on which everyone depends. Traditional topics
covered in this field include Operations Strategy, Product&Process
design and development, Capacity management, Location and layout, Quality
Management
and continuous improvement, Production Planning, MRP/ERP Systems, Just-in-Time/Lean
Production, Project Management, Process Management, Inventory Systems,
Global
Operations, Management of Advance Manufacturing Technologies, Service Operations
Management, Purchasing and materials management, Logistics, Supply Chain
Management,
Performance measurement, Internet-enabled operations, Environmental Operations
Management, among others.
Supply Chain
Management (SCM) is concerned with the management of logistical flows and
with the set of management practices used to design, plan, and control these
flows in order to achieve seamless integration of the network of suppliers
feeding an operations system.
Service
Operations Management (SOM) is similar to Operations Management but focuses
exclusively on the service industry and on the difficulty of designing,
planning, and controlling operations when an operations system output is
intangible, co-produced, and involves emotions and experiences.
