Course Summary

In a global economy defined by volatility, disruption, and relentless competition, manufacturing operations cannot be managed in isolation. They must be tightly aligned with the overall business strategy to ensure cost efficiency, speed, flexibility, and long-term competitive advantage. Operations strategy provides the framework for making critical decisions on capacity, technology, outsourcing, location, and process design — choices that directly determine whether a company thrives or falls behind.

This Operations Strategy & Competitive Manufacturing training course equips participants with the knowledge and tools to design and execute operations strategies that strengthen competitiveness. It blends strategic thinking with practical analysis to help delegates evaluate trade-offs, optimise resources, and align operational capabilities with customer and market needs.

Delegates will explore global best practices, from lean operations and agile manufacturing to digital transformation and sustainability. They will also learn how to position operations as a driver of innovation, profitability, and customer satisfaction.

By the end of this GLOMACS Operations Strategy & Competitive Manufacturing training course, participants will return with the insights, frameworks, and action plans to transform operations into a source of lasting competitive advantage.
