Supply and demand in a market economy is one the most fundamental concepts in economics. Demand refers to the quantity of a product or service that is demanded by consumers. Supply refers to how much of the product or service the market can offer. The price of a good or service is greatly influenced by supply and demand and will usually settle at a point where the quantity demanded by consumers will equal the quantity supplied by producers. This free online economics course will review in detail the laws of supply and demand, how they operate in a market economy and how they determine the price of goods and services. The course outlines factors that affect both supply and demand, and how there is an in-built price elasticity within supply and demand for goods or services. This free online economics course will be of great interest to all professionals in the areas of economics, finance, business and politics who would like to learn more about how the price of goods and services is determined, and to all learners who would like a greater understanding of the fundamental laws of supply and demand.<br />

How to Lead Your Business and Yourself To Massive Success and Greater Income

Great leaders are made, not born. Whether you’re a student, an individual contributor, a recent manager just starting to lead others, an experienced mid-level manager, or someone passionate about making an impact on your community, you too can benefit from leadership development! LeaderMOOC builds on the latest research from the Center for Creative Leadership on the “fundamental four” leadership capabilities needed for success: self-awareness, learning agility, influence, and communication. Participants will vote on one additional area they would like to explore. The emphasis throughout is “leadership for real,” so rather than taking an academic approach, the course allows participants to discover, for each topic, something essential about their own leadership strengths and challenges, as well as how to translate these insights into real situations in the workplace and community.

This course uses the fictionalized story of Jim Barton as the CEO of a manufacturing company (first published in the book Harder Than I Thought and now dramatized in this course) to examine important issues in 21st century leadership.

The free online course Lean Manufacturing - Line Balancing and Facilities Location is the third course in the Applied Operations Management series. This course introduces the process of line balancing in lean manufacturing, which involves assigning tasks to workstations, so that workstations have approximately equal time requirements. Line balancing is used to minimize idle time and remove potential bottlenecks within a process. The course begins by introducing the concept of line balancing and explains terminology associated with it, such as tasks, task precedence, task times and cycle time. You will then learn about heuristics for working out line balancing problems in lean production, such as the shortest processing time and the longest path in the network. You will also learn about cycle time, the maximum time allowed at each workstation before the work moves on, and how cycle time determines the rate of output. The course then introduces the qualitative factors, such as raw materials, transport, and customer demand in determining the location of facilities. You will then learn about quantitative methods, such as the p-median model, which is used to model many real world situations, such as the location of public or industrial facilities, warehouses and other facilities. This course will be of great interest to professionals working in the area of operations management and lean production who would like to learn more about lean manufacturing, line balancing and facilities location, and to all learners who would like to know more about these important aspects of operations management.<br />
