Overview

Engineering Project and Operations Management techniques are used extensively in modern engineering industry to plan, organise and control construction and manufacturing operations, as well as other operations such as logistics and maintenance operations. Engineering project and operations management is also referred to as `operational research' and utilises quantitative analysis to assist with the decision making process. This course is focused on the quantitative aspects of management contrasting the more qualitative aspects explored in ENG3003.

In this course, a selected number of analytical techniques will be explored including network analysis, project management, linear programming, statistical analysis and micro-economic functions. Many of these quantitative methods explored in this course are used, not only in engineering production and project work, but also in the management of other operations.

Course learning outcomes

The course objectives define the student learning outcomes for a course. On completion of this course, students should be able to:

  1. define and describe engineering project management;
  2. utilise CPA management techniques to plan, analyse, schedule and control engineering and surveying projects;
  3. use a variety of operational research techniques to analyse complex management problems and to synthesise and evaluate possible solutions to these problems;
  4. analyse production and supply in terms of various inputs, types of costs, break even analysis, and the effect of time on the value of money.
