Mastery of Management Graduate Diploma on

Operations & Quality Management

This Program gives a comprehensive understanding of the key issues and techniques of operations management; it is a vital subject because operations management is the function that plans, organises, coordinates, and controls the resources needed to produce a company’s goods and services making the best, professional and efficient use of the organisational resources available.

Operations Management is important because it is concerned with creating all of the products and services upon which we depend, and because every service and product that we use or produce is the result of an operation or process.  It is an exciting subject as it is at the centre of many of the changes affecting the world of business.  It is challenging because the solutions that we find need to work cost-effectively and efficiently, both within the organisation or company and globally.  Operations management needs to be conducted responsibly, taking account of responsibilities to society and the environment.  This Program aims to give you a thorough insight into Operations Management and the key concerns of the subject, and the ability to put that knowledge into practice.
