Manage Productivity to Maximize Profit

Each professional engineering regulatory board across Canada has different CPD requirements, and some boards require strictly technical CPD courses related to your discipline. Courses in the area of Business Skills, Firm Management, or Personal Development may not qualify. Check your regulator's criteria to confirm the courses you need to fulfill your provincial requirements.

In Manage Productivity to Maximize Profit , you'll learn ...

• List the elements needed for effective goals
• Identify measurable work performance goals
• Analyze floor plans for optimal work flow
• Analyze work flows to determine their current efficiency

Overview

This course is for people wanting to understand the design and management of efficient work processes in any environment for any product. Public organizations will benefit as much as private because work efficiency and productivity is essential to both. The concepts presented here are universal whether processing legal documents or building toasters on an assembly line.

Plenty of practice exercises (with answers following) give students the opportunity to understand the concepts of production planning, equilibrium, and efficiency and apply them in their own work. Students will be able to measure existing production capacity and forecast future demand while analyzing data to determine breakeven points for equipment purchase or leasing and creating optimal staffing strategies with full or part-time help.

Profitability only comes when we make the most efficient and effective use of our existing resources and available data.
