Teaching mode innovation for undergraduates in operations management

Operations management is a core and compulsory course for undergraduates in management engineering. In this article, the author analyses specific reasons for poor class performance in undergraduate teaching in operations management and, then, suggests a method for improvement based on the practical teaching mode. Then, the author considers this from the perspective of the design idea, teaching content, course organisation forms and implementation effect. In this context, innovations in the means and methods of practical teaching compared with the old ones are stressed. Finally, the plan-do-check-act (PDCA) cycle mode that aims at improving teaching quality is proposed and discussed.
