If you’re interested in a good entry point, undergraduate business business programs often call that first class “Production and Operations Management” or a close variant.
I haven’t been a business student in a very long time, but back then ambitious students would often do a six course semester where they would do a full load at my school and grab POM via distance learning. That school and their POM class still exist.
You’ll be able to get some terms to search for there, find a textbook and I’d bet anything that if you started plugging chapter titles into YouTube, you could find lectures.
I was too busy starting businesses in business school to have been a very good business student so I can’t claim any expertise on subfields within POM. As far as what they teach, it depends a lot on the exact part of POM you get into. Some is pure mathematical analysis but there is a lot of overlap with cost accounting, human resources and marketing. The projection side is part math, part marketing and part guesswork. The costing side gets really deep into accounting and Human Resources. Some subfields focus heavily on union and industrial relations. You’ll find subfields that delve into OH&S for reasons you don’t want to think too deeply about.

I'll take a look at the syllabus for that Atahabascau course.
