The Institute of Operations Management (IOM) is hosting a series of breakfast briefings designed to demonstrate some of the benefits and facilities available from the IOM to operations management professionals and to highlight the benefits of becoming either individual or corporate members of the Institute. The events will be held at Cottingham in Leicestershire, Bristol, Glasgow and Studley in Warwickshire.
The free of charge Manufacturing Breakfast Briefings are being held over the next few months and provide the opportunity for networking, establishing new contacts and comparing notes with fellow professionals engaged in operations management and manufacturing.
Membership of the IOM provides continuous benefits throughout any career by giving access to knowledge and information, together with professional development including training, qualifications, events, networking, careers service, information services and the specialist range of support and assistance available from the principal UK professional society for operations management professionals.
IOM Manager Leonie Edwards says: ‘These breakfast briefings are designed to introduce details of our services and facilities to operations management professionals and, at the same time, give them the opportunity to meet and engage with fellow professionals interested and working in the manufacturing industry.
‘We hope that attendees will gain the joint benefits of enjoying a good breakfast followed by a lifetime of professional support from the IOM!’
Part of the presentation will be an insight into the library and information facilities available. IOM’s Peter Huggins says: ‘The IOM Knowledge Centre houses one of the largest specialist and comprehensive sources of logistics, supply chain and operational management information in the world. By combining traditional and online resources The Knowledge Centre gives the most effective and efficient routes to the information that members need.’
