226302001-KM-05 Operations Management and Supervision

WELCOME MESSAGE 

Dear Student

Welcome to module 226302001-KM-05, which deals with the Operations Management and Supervision

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management has expanded inside companies, and research is now indicating that it yields benefits for both workers’ safety and health and for business performance. However, in daily operations, OHS management tends to end up in a ‘sidecar’ to operations management (OM). By investigating competitive and cooperative constellations of the two logics, we identified potentials for additive constellations amplifying both productive and safety capabilities in companies, and potentials for facilitative cooperation where a new overarching institutional logic of responsible and sustainable business can create a need for synergy between the two logics.

Upon completion of this module, students will understand the concepts, principles, and strategic planning of running an effective health and safety management system. The course methodology will equip the supervisor with confidence and a structured approach to handling health & safety matters within the organization to affect change management and how to apply these principles when implementing new systems

If you have any academic or module-specific inquiries, please contact the lecturer. You may contact them by phone or e-mail at specific times.
