Rise forecast for operations management hiring in 2011The number of people employed in operations management jobs looks set to climb during 2011, new figures suggest.

A report by APICS and the University of North Carolina-Wilmington found that 64 per cent of employers expected to appoint new professionals in the field and to enhance their supply chains this year.

Carried out by specialists from the Cameron School of Business at the institution, the research also found that the number of respondents forecasting redundancies in these areas has fallen by 50 per cent.

The news may interest those who have completed operations training courses or who hold an APICS qualification, with the survey indicating the highest net employment growth in operations and supply chain management since the start of the global economic downturn.

Commenting on the poll results, Abe Eshkenazi, chief executive of APICS, stated they are "cause for optimism that 2011 may see increased job creation".

APICS qualifications offer improved team-building skills, career support, project management development and acknowledgement in the field of operations management. ADNFCR-3058-ID-800467659-ADNFCR
