This degree blends business management with a liberal arts skill set that encompasses critical thinking, international awareness, the application of cutting-edge business systems programs, effective communications, ethics, statistics and quantitative literacy, and the ability to write well and persuasively.
The academic purpose of Operational Excellence is to expose students to advanced theories of management as shaped by the Toyota Production process. Operational Excellence (OE) empowers employees by allowing them to share and implement their ideas for improving productivity, quality control, and safety. It is a culture of teamwork where employees are treated with respect and a sense of community is fostered.
The program concentrates on two primary OE concepts while introducing you to the core curriculum of management. The first is the methods you can use to develop cultural change within your work area and your enterprise. The second is on the tools, techniques and countermeasures used by skilled OE practitioners in implementing OE at their organizations. You will have several opportunities to experience and practice these skills hands on throughout the program. Upon completion of this degree the graduate will be prepared to manage and lead in the OE Learning Organization.
