Methodology to implement project-based learning (PBL) within the context of Operations Management.

Operations Management represents a crucial discipline intersecting engineering and business, dedicated to refining processes, optimizing resources, and streamlining systems to elevate overall efficiency and productivity.Traditionally, this course has been delivered through lecture-based classes heavily grounded in mathematical models encompassing forecasting, inventory management, scheduling and operations planning, material requirements planning, and manufacturing resource planning.In pursuit of elevating the students' active learning and knowledge retention, we introduced PBL as an innovative pedagogical strategy.This paper begins with a review of the literature on PBL in engineering education and operations management, highlighting its benefits in fostering critical thinking, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving skills.It also addresses the challenges associated with implementing PBL in this context.In conclusion, the paper underscores the significance of PBL as an effective instructional method for Operations Management education, lessons learned, challenges of implementing PBL in operations management, and future recommendations for similar studies.
