Production Management Foundations

Much of business operations is about making things and delivering them to your customer. Despite the recent rise and focus on the service economy, anyone involved in goods-related businesses today should have a solid understanding of how operations management principles are applied to managing a modern factory. In this course, Steven Brown shares his knowledge about the skills required to design, plan, and manage a factory—and the business functions that support factory operations. Steven covers topics that include operations strategy, process and service design, key elements of production processes, factory planning and management systems, and more.

Whether you work directly with operations personnel or not, understanding your production process will make you better at your job—whatever that job may be.
