I developed the new Operations Management course for the Business Management program at Western Technical College to introduce students to the core concepts of operations management and its impact on organizational success. The course covers essential skills, from managing daily operations to planning and executing long-term projects, providing a comprehensive understanding of how businesses function efficiently.
