Cranfield University Fellowship in Manufacturing Management and Dudley Child Executive Recruitment
October 19th, 2011
By Lee
Dudley Child Ltd has established high-level contacts with the industry renowned, Queen’s award-winning Fellowship in Manufacturing Management Programme (FMM) at Cranfield University to further our strategic objective of aligning our business with best practice in the manufacturing industry.
The FMM attracts experienced manufacturing and operations management professionals and prepares them for senior positions in industry. Dudley Child’s relationship with the FMM enables us to provide our clients with access to graduates from the Programme and to Fellows undertaking their one year industrial placement component. The industrial placement period follows a three month, classroom based, intensive training period which includes Lean Manufacturing techniques, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, CI and change management.
Dudley Child’s relationship with the FMM enables us to provide our clients with access to graduates from the Programme and to Fellows undertaking their one year industrial placement component.
Consultants and directors from Dudley Child recently attended a presentation of FMM 2-day projects at Cranfield. At this event, Fellows on the current intake presented their findings and proposals from short but intensive 2-day projects in sponsor businesses. The sponsors set challenging Terms of Reference for the Fellows to investigate an area of the business where performance improvement is desired. The Fellows then work in the business for two days, engaging with key stakeholders, observing processes, gathering data and collating information. They then present back to the sponsoring business a proposal with their recommendations for improved performance. The projects look for improvements in manufacturing and transactional processes and have proven to deliver bottom line improvements running into the tens-of-thousands.
If you would like to know more or would be interested a 2-day project, in sponsoring an industry placement or in recruiting from the FMM programme please contact Jordan Dudley on 0113 246 8950 or info@dudleychild.co.uk">info@dudleychild.co.uk.
