Would you like to learn how to absorb comprehensive know-how in the field of operations, supply chain and logistics – and how to grow into a leadership role? Are you interested in applying that knowledge as a logistics manager, analyzing the current operational performance of an organization in terms of production and distribution? Do you want to develop the skills to understand an executive overview of the flow of goods between the point of origin and point of consumption? If so, then Operations Management and Logistics at TU/e may well be the master’s program you’re looking for!
Let’s be sure we understand the terminology:
- Operations form the base of every organization, whether in manufacturing, service or non-profit industries. Operations extend from the performance management of a group of design engineers or building in quality feedback loops to the precise prediction of production and delivery performance. Supply chain management and service engineering are also part of operations management.
- Logistics manages the distribution process of resources, ranging from physical items – food, liquids, animals, equipment and materials – to more abstract items such as information, particles and energy.
OML: analyzing an organization’s operational performance
Operations Management and Logistics (OML) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization’s operational activities.
Improving performance by redesigning business processes
Our OML Master of Science (MSc) degree program provides theory, tools and techniques for the management of operations. You will apply the knowledge that you gain during the program in various projects, learning what it means to carry out your own research. The program is diverse, offering ample room for choice within all tracks. We operate a highly-personalized supervision system and will show you how to analyze the current operational performance of an organization, how to explain it in terms of quality, cost and time, and how to improve this performance by redesigning business processes.
