An Introduction to Operations Management

Christian Terwiesch

This course will teach you how to analyze and improve business processes, be it in services or in manufacturing. You will learn how to improve productivity, how to provide more choice to customers, how to reduce response times, and how to improve quality.

Dear Class,

We are beyond the half-way point in this class – it is downhill from here. Again, I have uploaded all material for the new week (week 4) on the course web-site. As usual, this includes the video lectures, practice problems, and the homework assignment.

Two days ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Coursera’s offices in Mountainview, CA. It was a lot of fun. And, guess what – these guys have a ping pong table in their lobby – I kid you not. We had an interesting discussion about teaching online and the future of Coursera. We also had some pretty cool ideas (I hope) for how to further improve the course; one of them, I will share with you in just a moment.

Now, before we talk more about ping pong tables and new initiatives, I will have to act as the bad guy and remind ourselves: homework 1 is due by the end of the week-end. I guess, when I said “it is downhill from now”, that was not entirely true. We still have 3-5 homework assignments and a final exam ahead of us. If you have not done so yet, please give these assignments a shot. Following somebody else’s analysis is one thing. My goal is that you can do this analysis yourself – and the homework is an important step in that direction.

Now, here is the crazy idea from my Mountainview trip. It is not quite ready, which is why I want to go full steam ahead on it…:) When I talked with the folks at Coursera, I mentioned how cool it would be if I could actually put some video content from real operations onto the site. My problem though is that I am jammed with producing the video lectures, the assignments, and all the other stuff. Moreover, the videos would be shot from my perspective as the professor, not from the perspective of a student.

The solution? We will create a dedicated space in the forum where you can upload your experiences. Many of you run businesses and/or are in charge of operations. How does the stuff we do in class work for YOU? Why does it NOT work? Videos, photos, anecdotes – please share with our class what your situation looks like. How does a process flow diagram look like for YOU? What is flow rate, flow time, and inventory for YOU? What are YOUR KPIs? How do YOU go about improving productivity, variety, timeliness, and quality?

Anyway, I think you get the idea. I want to call it “The Coursera Operations Challenge”. Let’s discuss this a bit in the forum. I want to flesh out some of the rules for the Coursera Operations Challenge over the course of the next week. And then we go live. Maybe, we give the top 100 entries in the Coursera Operations Challenge a waiver for the final exam….

Talk to you soon

Best

Christian

Yacamán le apostará el próximo año a la IndyCar

Universidad Fernando Noveno

    Gustavo Yacamán, el piloto caleño, le apostará en el 2013 a la Serie IndyCar, la categoría de monoplazas más importante de Estados Unidos. Para él, el apoyo de la Alcaldía de Cali ha sido significativo para su carrera.

    “En este deporte es extremadamente difícil hacerse a un nombre en el exterior y contar con el apoyo de la Alcaldía es muy importante, porque nos permite dejar arriba el nombre de Cali”, aseguró ‘El tigrillo’.

    El piloto caleño se reunió con el alcalde Rodrigo Guerrero Velasco para agradecer el apoyo recibido este año por parte de la Administración Municipal y comentarle las metas para el próximo año.

    La Serie IndyCar tiene un gran prestigio y entre sus pruebas están las 500 millas de Indianápolis pero además, circuitos urbanos y autódromos, los cuales superan en cantidad a los óvalos.

      El Festival Internacional de Cine de Cali llega este año a su cuarta versión, para entregarle a la ciudad cinco días de séptimo arte. El encuentro será lanzado oficialmente el jueves 25 de octubre, a partir de las 9:00 de la mañana, en el Hotel Intercontinental.
      Así lo confirmó la secretaria de Cultura y Turismo, María Helena Quiñónez, quien indicó a su vez que la inauguración se realizará en Cinepolis del Centro Comercial Premier, de El Limonar. Allí se estará llevando a cabo la mundial de la película ‘Sonido Bestial’, del director caleño Sandro Romero y Silvia Vargas. Esta gala contará con la presencia de los cantantes puertorriqueños Richi Ray y Boby Cruz, quienes ofrecerán una sorpresa musical a los asistentes del acto.
      Esta cinta, que gira en torno a la vida de estos reconocidos artistas, se constituye en un homenaje a Cali, donde estos músicos se constituyeron en verdaderos ídolos populares en los años 60 y parte de los 70. La película fue filmada en ciudades de Estados Unidos, Puerto Rico, Francia y Colombia. Hay escenas en Nueva New York, Nueva Jersey, Miami, San Juan de Puerto Rico, Hormigueros, Bayamón, Medellín, Barranquilla, Cartagena, París, Bogotá y Cali. Fue editada en Barcelona, en España.
