Description

BACKGROUND:
Operations management (OM) is defined as “the design, operation, and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firm’s primary products and services”. OM practices and research must respond to demands to address sustainability. Creating a safe work environment is critical to the success of your business, and is one of the best ways to retain staff and maximise productivity. This response is triggered by environmental concerns, the well-being of workers and communities, and other broad social demands. Definition of sustainable OM as the pursuit of social, economic and environmental objectives – the triple bottom line (TBL) – within operations of a specific firm and operational linkages that extend beyond the firm to include the supply chain and communities. As a business owner you have responsibilities regarding health and safety in your workplace. Different aspects of operational management like product design, social standards, lean operations, and supply chain management can be considered for a sustainable practice.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
