Plant operations management: performance, capacity and assets
Plant operations management: performance, capacity and assets
A course for plant and operations managers: how manufacturing operations management connects the enterprise plan to the shop floor, how to build KPIs you can actually manage, how to balance capacity and the planning interface, how ISO 55001:2024 frames value, cost, performance and risk in assets, and how to improve the operating system without moving problems next door. Five modules, each with a worked example, and a 10-question final quiz. Based on cited official standards and guidance. Not an accredited qualification.
