PLANT MANAGEMENT, LOGISTICS, OPERATIONS
The programs are compiled for plant managers, operations and production managers, for logistics managers who decide on the direction of the production plant. Maintaining and increasing competitiveness is a priority for MNCs after overcoming the challenges MNCs had to face in supply chains. Businesses have realized how important flexibility, adaptability, the ability to change strategy, and alternative options are. Owners and managers are aware of the constant need to increase productivity in production, logistics, maintenance, and personnel management during growth strategies.
Module A
