Introduction

Trained and qualified Operations Managers make a difference. They are fundamental to boosting productivity, raising quality standards and improving efficiency throughout the business.

For many years it has been widely accepted that the overall level of education amongst the UK workforce has been below that of our competitors in Europe and elsewhere. If more of our companies are to achieve world class performance and compete successfully in this time of rapid change, we must raise that level of education and we must raise it now.

Fundamental to the success of UK industry is superior operations management: top level planning; production and inventory control; scheduling; quality, waste and cost control; the use of relevant integrated systems; and much more. Continuous improvement in these essential areas can only be brought about through investment in people.

The successful companies of today and tomorrow are those who train their personnel. The Institute of Operations Management provides education and training at all levels, from the shop floor to the boardroom, to help companies ensure that their people are professionals, ready and able to respond to change.
