Operations Management in Engineering
MSc/PgDip/PgCert
Operations management is critical to the fundamental success of delivering customer satisfaction. Business performance depends on efficient and effective operations throughout the company through work at operational, tactical to strategic levels and from market need through to customer delivery and service. The Operations Management in Engineering course provides theories, concepts and tools to be able to analyse and implement solutions to operations management issues in an engineering environment.
Students gain an in-depth understanding in operational issues related to engineering industries worldwide. On completion, graduates will be equipped with state-of-the-art concepts, methods, techniques and tools to allow them to contribute to the management of engineering operations.
The course structure and content are based on the operational needs of 21st century engineering organizations, but much of the content would also apply to some service organisations.
The course first focuses on the wider strategic and global issues facing engineering organisations. It then examines the use and application of enabling techniques that facilitate operations effectiveness. Next, it focuses on operational areas. Throughout the course, there is an emphasis on integration, enhanced by group assignments, team projects, industrial visits and case studies.
The course is aimed at graduates wishing to broaden their expertise, eg from a technological first degree, or who wish to work within the engineering industry.
