PURPOSE AND RATIONALE OF THE QUALIFICATION 
Purpose:
The purpose of the Diploma in Operations Management is to allow qualifying learners to enter a formal entry-level qualification within the field of operations management. In this qualification, learners will explore strategies on how to manage aspects related to operations and supply chain in the manufacturing and services industries. Learners would be able to develop skills and competencies on how to ensure an organisation becomes more productive, efficient, and effective across the value chain as an Operations Manager.

The field of operations management is changing continually as economies change, and the qualifying graduate in this qualification will be able to advise middle to senior managers on issues relating to Capacity Planning, Forecasting, Quality, Process Analysis and Project Management. This is important to ensure the qualifying learners will be able to apply the theoretical constructs of operations management in real-life work situations through simulations and case studies. The labour-intensive nature of some industries and the various skills levels in Operations Management will provide employment opportunities for many South Africans with varying degrees of skills development. Learners will also be equipped with the necessary entrepreneurial skills to establish their own businesses.

Qualifying learners will be able to:
  • Demonstrate a detailed understanding of operations management theory and the application of theory to solving real-world problems.
  • Co-ordinate and manage operational tasks as supervisors at second-tier managerial positions through all phases, namely plan, lead, organise and control in different contexts.
  • Complete simulated learning via the utilisation of case studies of real-life work situations to gain the practical experience needed.
  • Apply Operations Management techniques and management decisions at operational and tactical levels in service and manufacturing organisations.

    Rationale:
    The updated technologies and processes such as the Industrial Revolution 4.0 development has rendered many qualifications outdated. Although the discipline of operations management originated in manufacturing, the elements of the discipline forms part of many sectors and disciplines. Industry and other institution's partners formed part of a market survey and confirmed the need for the introduction of the qualification and knowledge areas. The qualification aims to introduce and assess critical operations management elements that will be based on a simulated work environment to better equip learners with hands-on knowledge that can be implemented in their work environments.

    Manufacturing is South Africa's fourth-largest industry, contributing 14% to the gross domestic product (GDP). The food and beverage division is the most important player in the industry, contributing 25% to total manufacturing activity, (The Department of Trade and Industry, 14 January 2021). Manufacturing accounts for about 11% of the total South African workforce, down from 14% in 2008. Based on a predominant manufacturing base within the operations management sector, a vocational qualification is best suited for the South African environment.

    The learner intake will target individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in operations management and related aspects. The qualification has been designed to meet the needs of employees in the services and manufacturing sectors who seek entry into higher educational qualifications after matriculation. It is designed to provide a simulated environment for learners to gain insight into how theory is applied in practice, which should increase the employability of learners.

    The qualification has been designed to meet the needs of the service and manufacturing sectors for employees with the appropriate critical, analytical, and organisational skills. The qualification content covers a variety of applicable subject matter such as safety and environmental management, green operations management and contemporary operations trends that, as mentioned, apply to various disciplines and sectors. In addition, learners will be better prepared to deal with a volatile external environment and be better prepared for employment. The following stakeholders were consulted in the design of the qualification:
  • The Production Management Institute of Southern Africa (PMISA).
  • The Institute of Productivity South Africa, American Production, and Inventory Control Society (APICS).
  • The South African Production and Inventory Control Society (SAPICS). SAPICS builds operations management excellence in individuals and enterprises through superior education and training, internationally recognised certifications, comprehensive resources, and a countrywide network of accomplished industry professionals.
  • The Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Science and Technology as well as members of the Advisory Board of this qualification confirmed the need to address the scarce skills (Operations Management, Accounting) associated with this field of study and provided input in the re-design of this qualification.
  • Advice on subject content as well as future technologies was shared by the Advisory Board with the Department of Operations Management and was included in the qualification.
