Entry Requirements

Considerable experience is normally required to become a fully-fledged production manager. Most people in such a
position have usually worked in subsidiary roles, such as inventory control, configuration analysis, material planning or as
a supervisor.

Nowadays, most entrants to the profession have a degree or HND, but there are also opportunities for non-graduates
who are prepared to study for professional qualifications, such as those offered by The Institute of Operations
Management (IOM) or the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM).

A degree/HND in one of the following disciplines is desirable, depending on the type of industry you wish to work in:

mechanical engineering;

food science/technology;

process engineering;

business/management;

electrical and electronic engineering;

materials science/technology;

transport/distribution/logistics;

chemistry;

physics;

biochemistry.

However, a qualification in some other discipline (eg, civil engineering, the humanities) would not preclude a person from
working in production management given sufficient motivation and a willingness to study for the relevant professional
qualifications. A few universities offer degree courses in production management: Coventry, Huddersfield, Leeds and
University of the Arts. Postgraduate courses in production management are offered at Teesside, Nottingham and the
University ofManchester.

Pre-entry experience, while not essential, would be very useful, whether it takes the form of vacation employment or a
work placement in an industrial environment during your course. If formal schemes are not open to you, try to arrange a
work-shadowing placement. The IOM may be able to offer suggestions.

Employers will be looking for more than just technical knowledge and, to make a success of this career, potential
candidates will need to show evidence of the following:

ability to think on your feet;

• ability to act decisively;

• ability to grasp concepts easily;

• problem-solving capabilities;

• ICT literacy;

• ability to communicate clearly and persuasively;

• good organisational skills;

• willingness to accept responsibility;

• ability to work under pressure and to deadlines;

• good physical health;

• ability to motivate others;

• self-confidence;

• ability to work in a logical, systematic manner;

• good judgement;

• common sense.

Training

Many larger companies offer a graduate management training scheme, which combines work experience in different
parts of the organisation (including production management) with training, which may be in-house, by distance learning
or involving study at an educational institution. Certain degree and HND courses include industrial placements. One
favoured route for those working in industry is to study for the professional qualifications offered by The Institute of
Operations Management (IOM). These include:

• the Certificate in Operations Management, which provides a foundation course for those progressing to the
Diploma;

• the Diploma in Operations Management, which is aimed at young professional managers working in the field,
developing knowledge and understanding of the practical areas of production management and awareness of the
human and financial issues found in modern organisations;

• the Advanced Diploma in Operations Management, which is designed to combine a broad foundation in research
and project techniques with a specific applied research investigation.

The Chartered Management Institute (CMI) also offers a range of qualifications in management, including a Level 5 NVQ
and SVQ in Operations Management.

Both the IOM and the CMI offer advice on continuous professional development (CPD).

Career Development

Graduates often start off as graduate trainees and gain experience in a number of different aspects of production
management (such as materials management, inventory control, configuration analysis, production control, purchasing
management) before moving on to become production supervisor or shift manager.

Some production managers eventually assume a more strategic role and become involved with long-term planning rather
than day-to-day operations. There are often opportunities to move into general management. In larger organisations a
production manager may well be responsible for production on a number of sites, and opportunities to set up and
manage operations overseas may arise with multinational firms.

There is no one tried and tested way of moving up in the profession and you are advised to read the case studies to see
how different individuals have progressed in their careers. Further examples are available on The Institute of Operations
Management (IOM) website.

Many who are new to the profession find they are encouraged by their employers to acquire a professional qualification,
and it may well prove advantageous to do so (see Training). In any case, managers need to continually update their
knowledge and experience as new systems and processes become available.

Typical Employers

The manufacturing sector accounts for about one sixth of the economy, providing around 3.5 million jobs directly and
many more indirectly. Most manufacturing companies – large and small – have a production manager, though the actual
title will vary. In very small companies, which are often privately owned, the job may be combined with other functions.

Many manufacturing companies have become household names:

• in food processing, Cadbury, Schweppes, Unilever, Nestle and Northern Foods are among the leaders, with plants
throughout theUnited   Kingdom;

• in pharmaceuticals, GlaxoSmithKline and Astra Zeneca are prominent but there are many other smaller
companies, mainly in the South East of England;

• many automobile manufacturers and component makers have plants in the UK, including BMW, Ford, GKN,
Honda, Nissan, Peugeot andToyota;

• in the aerospace and defence sector, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Dowty Messier and Smiths Industries play an
important role.

• the electronics industry continues to offer opportunities in such fields as information technology hardware (Fujitsu,
Marconi) and electrical consumer goods (Sony,Hitachi).

Production managers are also employed in chemical engineering, heavy engineering, textiles and the printing industry.
The ceramics industry, based mainly in the Potteries, is in decline, suffering competition from cheaper products from the
Far East.

Many companies are involved in several types of production, which can include:

• jobbing production (the manufacture of small, often single qualities of a large range of products made to order);

• mass production (a small range of products manufactured in very large quantities);

• process production (usually involving chemical, rather than mechanical processes);

• batch production (where products are manufactured neither singly nor continually).
