Description

Operations planning and Operations Management has never been more sophisticated, nor more demanding. The pressure to improve quality; the need to manage materials and people more cost effectively; the drive to manage capacity more flexibly; and develop control systems which highlight problems while there's still time to do something about them, conspire to make the role of Operations Manager one of the most challenging of all of the corporate functions. In this course you can explore how operations theory stands up in practice by examining the operations function of the Ford Motor Company at Dagenham, Essex. Through interviews with key operations managers you can explore planning and control, Inventory, Quality, process choice, Performance objectives and Operations strategy at the Dagenham plant at a critical time in its history.
