Courses EMGT Course Descriptions EMGT 6142. Emphasis on use of computers for decision support. Study of various aspects of project management including project types and organizations, regulatory and liability issues, planning, budget, risk assessment, and conflict resolution. Exercises involve research into emerging management processes, use of computerized techniques, and application of management theories in team-based projects. Legal principles, precedents, case studies, and research projects.
Teams make periodic reports and presentations to the class on design assignments.
Emphasis on designing and conducting useful experiments rather than the basis in statistical theory. Includes robust parameter design and tolerance design techniques. Review and comparison of Taguchi methods with conventional designed experimentation. Principles and application of selecting, planning, and executing simulation projects for processing systems, and developing and experimenting with simulation models. Discrete event simulation is particularly powerful for modeling and experimenting with systems exhibiting interdependencies and variability - such as manufacturing and service systems.
