Description

BACKGROUND:
What is Process Management?
All operations are composed of processes. A process is an arrangement of resources and activities that transform inputs into outputs that satisfy customer needs (Slack et.al 2015). The difference between operations and process is mainly the scale and complexity of the given tasks. For example, Banking operations can consist of financial management processes and Hotel operations contains guest service processes. Hence one operation function can be made up of several individual processes. Slack et.al (2015) suggest that all parts of the business manage processes so all parts of the business have an operational role and need to understand operational management.

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.
