3. Objective Of The Lab Portion  To give students an opportunity to experience OM in situations that will mirror real life operational challenges.  Students will take a product idea and develop it from facility location planning for the product manufacture.  Students will also learn to utilize quantitative operations management tools.

4. Learning Outcomes Students who complete the course will:  Integrate OM theory into a mock manufacturing project  Compare and contrast different business forecasting models  Propose different business strategies for different business environments  Create business proposals for potential investors  Present the business proposal to mock investors

5. Lab Outline  The class will be broken up into teams of 3 students for group work.  Each group will make two presentations of 15-20 minutes each. One group will be assigned to critique the presentation and will be graded on the critique.  Groups will be required to turn in a “project” paper (in two parts).

6. Grading  800 Total Possible Course Points:  Lecture (400):  300 Three 100 point exams (3rd exam on Finals Day, non- comprehensive)  100 Three Homework assignments (33 points each).  Lab (400):  150 Two group presentations in the Lab class (75 points each)  150 Two group projects in the Lab class (75 points each)  40 Grade assigned to each group member by fellow members  60 Attendance grade for Lab phase (attendance is mandatory)  Each non-excused absence will result in a loss of 20 points up to a total of 60. Attendance includes two mandatory office meetings with instructor (part 1 and 2).

7. Policies  Each group is required to meet with me prior to presenting their project to the class.  For the presentation, if your group cannot present on the assigned day you can present at a later date for a penalty of 25 points. This must be pre-approved otherwise your group will get a “0” for the presentation.

8. Students with disabilities  Please let me know about any disabilities that you may have to make necessary arrangements as early as possible.

9. Plagiarism  You are required to give your lab instructor an electronic copy of each power point presentation and each written presentation before a grade on your project can be issued.  All power point and written presentations are kept on file. If it is determined that you have turned in a presentation that is someone else’s work your grade for the assignment will be “0.”  It’s certainly acceptable for your team to develop a product that someone else has used, just not a copy of someone else’s work.
