Description

This course is structured across three integrated sections: Operations Management, Project Management, and Risk Management. Each section builds on the other to support better decision-making, stronger planning, and improved organisational resilience.

Course 01 Operations Management: The Operations Management section introduces learners to key processes used to manage production, service delivery, and logistics.

  • Foundations of Operations Management provides a detailed look at operational structures, process flows, resource allocation, and the relationship between operations and business outcomes.

  • Operations Strategy and Competitiveness shows how effective operations improve performance, reduce waste, and support market competitiveness. Strategic alignment and benchmarking are also discussed.

  • Quality Management Systems explores ISO standards, continuous improvement methods like Six Sigma, and quality audits.

  • Supply Chain Management examines procurement processes, inventory control, demand forecasting, and supplier management to ensure smooth business operations.

Course 02 Project Management: The Project Management section offers the frameworks and techniques to lead successful projects from start to finish.

  • Project Management Principles explain planning methods, scope development, task sequencing, and team roles.

  • Project Planning and Control introduces Gantt charts, critical path methods, risk registers, and scheduling tools used in Project Management.

  • Project Cost and Procurement Management focuses on budgeting, sourcing strategies, and cost estimation methods used in both private and public sector projects.

  • Project Risk Management connects the principles of Risk Management to project timelines, ensuring risk reduction is integrated into planning.

  • Leadership and Team Management equips learners to lead project teams, manage conflict, and build accountability.

  • Communication and Stakeholder Management covers reporting, stakeholder expectations, and team communications in Project Management environments.

Course 03 Risk Management: This section addresses internal and external risks that could affect a business or project.

  • Introduction to Risk Management defines operational, financial, compliance, and environmental risks. Learners explore the stages of risk identification, analysis, and treatment.

  • Enterprise Risk Management connects Risk Management practices to long-term goals and decision-making at the executive level.

  • Business Continuity and Crisis Management focuses on planning for unexpected events, including IT failures, supply disruptions, and natural disasters. This ensures Operations Management is not disrupted in times of crisis.

This course strengthens learners’ abilities to combine Operations Management practices with structured Project Management and advanced Risk Management strategies. This combination ensures that learners are not only able to manage business processes, but also lead change and reduce threats at every stage.
