Parte 2: INDICATORS AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS - Indicators and Performance Measurement Systems. - The Balanced Scorecard. - Strategy Map. - Strategic and operational indicators. - Indicator definition: 14 areas. - Implementation of the Performance Measurement System. - Kaplan, R.S. and Norton, D.

Professor: Miguel Ángel Heras The methodology used is geared towards active student participation. It consists of a combination of class presentation of subjects, analysis and case study discussions, with group work and critical reading of selected articles. During the course the student will learn to: - Work in a team, collaborating actively and in supportively to reach the agreed objectives. - Contrast/apply knowledge and skills acquired in the theory classes to the practical/participatory sessions (case study analysis). - Synthesise the proposals and analysis and communicate them in oral presentations adapted to the set objectives and the characteristics of the audience. The course includes the development of a Business Project, monitored by tutors, in which the conceptual elements taught throughout the Operations courses are dealt with in a practical and instructional way. Evaluation: The system of evaluation consists of: - Group tasks on Case Studies, reading and Operations and Innovation concepts. Weighted at 25%.

6 - Company work. Weighted at 35%. - Final course exam. Weighted at 40%. In order for the exam grade to be averaged in with the course s other grades, students must obtain a grade of 4 out of 10 or over. Because the methodology of this course focuses on active student participation, there is a significant continuous assessment factor in the evaluation, necessitating major effort on the part of both the students and the Professors. Case Study preparation and reading for the sessions is therefore indispensable. Articles given as preparatory reading for each session must be read and analysed before the class. The readings are assessable final exam material. No test or group presentation can be made up at a later date, even if the non-attendance was for work reasons, as these tests are used for random attendance measurement. All the groups will submit the chosen Case Studies to the practicals professors at the beginning of the practicals classes. Core Bibliography: Krajewski, Ritzman, Malhotra. Operations Management.
