Course Syllabus
Abstract
This applied course covers process modeling via system dynamics, lean principles, and capacity optimization. It provides practical skills to design, organize, and streamline innovation pipelines and new product development workflows.
Learning Objectives
- ОПК-1 (FGOS 27.03.05): Capable of analyzing professional innovation management operations and processes based on the principles, laws, and methods of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
- ОПК-2 (FGOS 27.03.05): Capable of designing innovation management processes and operations based on knowledge from core sections of mathematical, technical, and natural science disciplines (modules).
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Analyze business processes to identify core operational metrics (flow rate, cycle time, capacity) and pinpoint bottlenecks impeding cost, quality, or speed
- Design statuc abd dynamic process models to simulate processes and investigate operational problems
- Apply flow management and lean operations principles to eliminate operational waste, balance work lines, and maximize efficiency
- Optimize inventory levels and operational capacity using Little’s Law and batching models to efficiently handle multiple products and match volatile market demand.
- Design and organize structured product development workflows
Course Contents
- Process analysis
- Process modeling
- Flow Management and Lean Operations
- Capacity and inventory management

Assessment Elements
- ActivityStudents are expected to activily participate in all classes. Activity is checked and evaluated during all classes based on the information about the time of presence, answers and questions in chat, answers (or questions if it is allowed by the teacher) in voice with a camera switched on from the platform MTS Link. Activities may include questions and answers, questions from students, debates, panel discussions, cross-discussion, case analysis, "acquarium" discussion, etc. Students may participate in discussions on the voluntary basis, but they will also be asked by the teacher. All students should be prepared to answer the questions. If the student does not answer the question, she does not receive points for active participation. It is highly recommended to enter the classes using full and real names (family and personal names). If any name other than the student's own is used, no activity points will be given. Requests related to incorrect name entries will not be considered.
- ExercisesIn teams of 6-7, students prepare the answers/ solutions to the exercises and sutiations distributed in advance by the teacher. The answers/ solutions should be prepared by the students within their self-study hours (between classes) and presented during the classes. Presentation implies demonstration and explanation of the answers/ solutions or other activities (debates, panel discussions, cross-discussion, case analysis, "acquarium" discussion, etc.). All team members should appear (while speaking) with a camera switched on and report the solution and answer the questions from the teacher or other teams. The will be 4 exercises in the course, unevenly distributed across the course timetable. These exercises can be organized as a distributed in time and acrros classes team project. They may be based on the cases distributed by the teacher or the real company chosed by the team (depends on the decision of the teacher and based on the interests of students).
- Mid-course testingTesting is conducted for the formal verification of knowledge on the topics covered. It is scheduled approximately for session 6–7. The test is administered on the SmartLMS platform using the Safe Exam Browser add-on during a class session. The date and time of the test are announced no later than 3 working days prior to the testing day. The duration of the test will not exceed 45 minutes. The sequence of questions is forced , with no possibility to return to previous tests. The test consists of approximately 35 closed-type test questions of varying difficulty levels and various formats. The maximum score for all test questions is 40 points. The results are announced within 3 days after the testing day.
- ExamThe exam is structured as a public defense of a previously developed micro-project. The micro-project is prepared throughout the entire course by self-organized teams of 2-3 students. It requires applying the strategic management tools, concepts, and theories studied in the course to the problems of a selected real-world innovative company. The project deliverables include (1) a written report accompied with the collected primary data (materials of interviews and other) and (2) defence of the report including discussion of the results and Q&A session checking the knowledge of the frameworks, concepts and theories relevant to the micro-project and its findings. Discussion may be organized in the form of questions to particular students, debates, cross-discussion, cross-examination, etc. The general explanation of the team project is announced during the first class. Detailed requirements for micro-project tasks are disclosed sequentially, as the corresponding tools are studied.
