Business Operations

The aim of this module is to equip learners with a comprehensive understanding of how businesses operate on a day-to-day basis. Learners will explore the key functions, processes, and structures that drive efficiency and effectiveness within an organisation. The module also examines the interaction between different operational areas—such as production, supply chain, quality management, and resource planning—and how these contribute to overall business performance. In addition, learners will analyse the internal and external factors that influence operations, including technological, economic, and competitive pressures. By the end of the module, learners will be able to evaluate operational practices and apply strategies to improve organisational performance in dynamic business environments.
