Technical Operations Management
Acting economically and sustainably
Growing globalization is challenging manufacturing companies to secure their international competitiveness in the long term. They must react to changing conditions, optimize their production processes and constantly adapt to customer requirements. This reliable realization of increasing production targets requires effective production management.
What you can expect
