Catherine Milner MIOM, Associate Consultant at Inventory Matters Ltd, has been appointed as the new Chairman of The Institute of Operations Management (IOM). She succeeds John Theophilus FIOM. IOM is the principal UK professional society for operations management in manufacturing, service industries and the public sector. The Institute is a membership body within The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) and International Associate for the international association for operations management APICS.

Milner, a chartered engineer, comes to the office after involvement with IOM since the mid-1980s and has worked in the UK and Europe for a number of organisations in aerospace, telecommunications and petrochemicals. She credits IOM with having aided her career. She says ‘The Institute is a great way of increasing knowledge and networking with like minded people engaged with similar working challenges. IOM undoubtedly assists in creating more professional standards and encouraging best practice.’

Catherine Milner lists three themes for her tenure as Chairman. She hopes to raise IOM’s profile as a recognised industry expert. Secondly, she wants to build up the Directors Forum, in order to increase corporate membership and to encourage leadership towards excellence in operations management. And, thirdly, she wants to maximise the impact of the great offerings from the Institute – the Knowledge Bank, qualifications, events and networking opportunities.

Milner says ‘I am very pleased to have the opportunity to be IOM Chairman for this year. There are great people in the IOM – on the Steering Committee, in the regional groups, and at Head Office. I am honoured to have a role amongst them all.’

The Institute of Operations Management (IOM) is the principal UK professional society for operations management in the manufacturing arena, service industries and the public sector. IOM recently became a membership body within The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (UK) bringing UK supply chain professionals together to increase knowledge sharing, learning opportunities and professional excellence. The IOM was established in 1963, originally as two chapters of the then American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS). From 1975 it functioned as an independent organisation called the British Production and Inventory Control Society (BPICS). It changed its name to The Institute of Operations Management (IOM) in 1996 and joined with The Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT(UK) in 2007. In 2009 IOM became the International Associate for APICS in Great Britain. For more information about IOM visit iomnet.org.uk or for information about CILT, visit ciltuk.org.uk

The Institute of Operations Management offers a range of Lean training, from one-day workshops through to more in-depth courses, for both IOM members and the general public. For specific information on training, visit iomnet.org.uk/events/default.aspx
