【 摘 要 】

This paper describes a teaching case that can be used to introduce production control and operations management concepts by analyzing the effects of future, uncertain influenza pandemics on the day-to-day operations at a 18,000 student-body university. This case provides students with an opportunity to use key technical concepts and analytics to design a guide that can be used by school administrators to deal with future pandemics. Through this case students treat a non-traditional service environment with unclear product definition as a production system.
