    Prerequisite(s): OM 280 or GB 301 Service operations constitute a major, growing segment of the U.S. economy. Although many of the concepts developed for manufacturing firms can be applied to service firms, the unique characteristics of services suggest that these concepts are not directly transferable. Through text assignments, readings and case discussions, the differences between services and manufacturing are identified in areas such as process design, facility layout, job design, site location and quality control. A major portion of the course involves a group project on the design, analysis and implementation of a new type of service.
