Course Overview
Synopsis
Operations Management is a multi-disciplinary field involving planning, organising, and supervising, in the contexts of production, manufacturing, or the provision of services. With delivery as the goal, it transforms organisational inputs into customer-facing outputs, successfully and efficiently.

Additionally, they require a specific skill set that includes organisation, communication, and strategic thinking abilities.
