Description

Features

• User Friendliness. We have combined all three packages (POM, QM, and DS for Windows) into one package  in order that all models will be available to the students - especially students who take both an Operations Management Course and a Quantitative Methods course. It still allows for student choice of which to select from in menu (POM, QM or both) to minimize confusion.
  • Tutorials have been added to walk students through certain operations "step-by-step" in the Help menu.
  • An overview tab has been added to the problem creation screen to help describe the options that are available.
  • More user customization options are available in the User Information section under the Help menu.

Do you wide assortments of techniques that model the topics you cover in class?

• Module Enhancements. There are both new and enhanced models in Aggregate Planning, Forecasting, Inventory, Location, Quality Control, Statistics and especially Decision Analysis which now has a graphical user interface for decision trees.
  • There are more output displays for Assembly Line Balancing, Job Shop Scheduling, Forecasting, Linear Programming, and Project Management.
  • There are improved displays of linear and integer programming models, decision trees, and project management results.

How do you judge the quality of the different software packages?

• Functionality. Ease of use is key to any software product.
  • Scroll bars have been added to the forecasting, learning curve and operating characteristic graphs in order to easily display the changes in the graphs as a function of the parameters.
  • The formatting and printing options have been improved.
  • The right-click options on tables and graphs have been enhanced so that it is now possible to easily copy, print or save graphs.
  • The Save as Excel option has been expanded to include nearly all of the models.
  • The Windows calculator will be used when found rather than the more primitive calculator that is included with POM-QM for Windows.
