Syllabus:	Facilities and Operations Management is an important area of management which includes the transformation systems and processes, storage and distribution, quality and productivity, controls and standards which organisations utilise to produce their goodsand services. It also provides the context for, and frequently becomes part of the content, of many service experiences. Facilities and operations management covers topics and decisions from the strategic level through to the tactical level of operations.This unit aims to take both a product and a services management approach to operations management, recognising that the majority of growth industries today are within the services sector or have ancillary service sector business units. The aim of the unit is to investigate facilities and operations management theory and practice, and then apply this to real world examples and case studies.
