Because of the complexity of most production systems, managers responsible for ensuring delivery of goods and services in every industry require an enormous amount of assistance and support. Industrial management graduates from UC's Carl H. Lindner College of Business oversee the planning, scheduling and coordination of work flow and processing activities to deliver quality products and services effectively and efficiently. They support other managers in finance and marketing functions to make the overall organization operate effectively.
A degree in industrial management positions students for such challenges, through education in subjects pertinent to direct supervision of tasks (line jobs) as well as support activities such as quality management, project planning and materials control (staff jobs).
