Course overview
What Is Leadership in Operations Management?
Leadership in operations management means directing the processes that produce an organisation’s goods and services while leading the people behind them. The course works through process optimisation with lean and Six Sigma, continuous improvement, supply chain and inventory management and quality control, and develops the leadership that keeps an improvement in place long after it is introduced.
Interactive workshops, case studies and simulations of real operational problems let participants map workflows, analyse root causes and plan improvements around the situations operations leaders in Libya deal with.
For operations managers, supply chain professionals, project managers and aspiring leaders in Libya, the course develops the leadership needed to streamline workflows, remove bottlenecks, manage suppliers and stock for reliability, control quality and costs against clear KPIs, and lead cross-functional teams that keep improving.
Why it matters
Why Operations Leadership Matters in Libya
Organisations in Libya depend on operations that use resources well, control cost and adapt when conditions change. Leaders who streamline workflows, plan for disruption and keep quality consistent help them deliver for customers.
Efficiency counts
Bottlenecks, idle time and rework drain resources and push up costs.
Quality builds trust
Reliable quality keeps customers satisfied and avoids costly errors.
Reliable supply
Sound supplier relationships and inventory control keep work flowing.
Improvement that lasts
A habit of continuous improvement helps organisations in Libya adapt and grow.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
A six-step cycle, drawn from lean and Six Sigma, takes participants from studying how a workflow really runs to optimising it and protecting the results, and can be applied again to any process.

- 2. MeasureWhere are we losing?
