Qualifications
Overview
Operations and Supply Chain Management involves bringing together organisational resources (people, money, materials, and buildings) for the production of goods or services. Fundamentally, supply chain management is about matching the supply of resources and goods with the demands of the marketplace.
Operations and supply chain managers make sure the processes are smooth, efficient, and sustainable, and are always thinking of ways to make improvements.
- Courses focus on issues such as operations strategy, performance management, procurement and distribution, product and process design, and inventory management.
- Investigate answers to questions such as: how do you make sure that people, money, materials, and buildings are used efficiently across the whole organisation? How can we ensure that our organisation is successful in achieving its goals?
