In a time of continuous change, it is very easy to lapse into sub-optimization and always starting new development projects, while forgetting long-term strategy and development work.
The laws and basic principles of production have not changed in the turmoil of disruptive transition. They still involve balancing supply and demand, competitive advantage, value creation and the generation of financial benefits.
However, while the key questions remain the same, the means are changing. Strategy implementation is promoted by the activation of theory, models and concepts, the fueling of process innovations, and active dialogue among colleagues – also across industry boundaries.
On the DOM program, you will find solutions and answers to the following questions:
- How to improve productivity?
- How to increase customer satisfaction and quality?
- How to reduce lead time and costs?
- What are the critical success factors in organizational development?
- How do world class companies develop their operations and networks?
Benefits
The program will develop your ability to understand and solve challenges of the future and find up-to-date strategy implementation tools. The development project will enable you to gain a comprehensive overview of the selected production area and find solutions to tackling identified problems. Participants from a range of industries will ensure fruitful discussions that shake up familiar ways of thinking and inspire you to innovate.
For
The target group of the Diploma in Operations Management is
- experienced production managers; manufacturing, inventory, logistics, service, materials, and supply chain managers working in senior management or expert positions,
- people moving into these challenging positions,
- teachers and consultants.
Students from a very wide range of industries and service sectors have participated in the previous DOM training programs. Since challenges and development targets are often very similar despite diverse backgrounds, joint training offers an opportunity to identify good practices across industry boundaries.
