Business Degrees at Dalton State College:
Bachelor of Science in Industrial Operations Management
|
The Dalton State College Bachelor of Science in Industrial Operations Management Degree is a business degree designed to give students a rigorous background in three key areas of operations management (quality, integrated materials management, and information technology) in conjunction with course work found in traditional business curriculums such as marketing, finance, and general management. In addition, students are trained in the use of the most important methodologies from the field of industrial engineering to solve a wide range of business and engineering problems common in all types of business settings. Introduction Bachelors programs in the University System of Georgia are mandated to be 120 academic credits. The first 60 of these are reserved for General Education requirements giving students exposure to the fields of Science and Mathematics, Social Science, Humanities and Fine Arts, as well as essential skills such as writing. In addition, this part of the curriculum allows the student to take classes related to their field of study. For the Industrial Operations Management (IOMG) major these include core business classes, accounting, economics, as well as an introduction to business and computers.

BSIOM Introduction

Quality Students of Industrial Operations Management are required to take four courses that provide prerequisite training, primarily statistics, through advanced quality control tools (Statistical Process Control), to managerial topics such as Total Quality Management and the ISO 9000 quality assurance standard. In addition to the required applied calculus course, training begins with MATH 2200, a statistics course that introduces students to the subject and takes them through simple linear regression.
Integrated Materials Management This competency is built through another set of four courses, beginning with Principles of Operations Management (IOMG 3251) and concluding with Manufacturing Planning and Control (IOMG 4255). In addition to more contemporary subjects such as Just-In-Time manufacturing and Integrated Materials Management, subjects in IOMG 4253, the students are expected to apply the methodologies, primarily math modeling and simulation (introduced in Quantitative Methods), to solve problems related to materials management. Information Technology Students have four upper division electives and are required to take at least three designed to meet their individual goals for using information technology. These courses are in addition to a required course, Introduction to Data Processing Systems (IOMG 3253), which exposes all IOMG candidates to key technologies, these include database theory, operating systems and computer networking, as well as programming in Visual BASIC. Students are free to take courses from the area of Management Information Systems, these include Systems Analysis and Design, Database Management Systems, Telecommunications Management, and Web-based MIS. Students are strongly encouraged to consider any or all of the three IOMG electives offered by the college. These are Computer Integrated Manufacturing (IOMG 3254), Introduction to Object Oriented Programming (IOMG 3257), and Advanced Application Development (IOMG 4256). Courses are intended to give students specialized training using programmable logic controllers and other automation techniques, programming in C++, and advanced Visual BASIC and database skills.
