Principles of Management and Leadership in Organisations
Unit aim
This unit provides the learner with an understanding of the concepts of leadership and managerial effectiveness within organisations. The unit also provides an introduction to the principles and practices of managing the performance of individuals in organisations.
Unit introduction
In work you will often be called on to take your lead from senior people in the organisation and then use your own management and leadership skills to gain the buy in of others and achieve organisational objectives. In this unit you will learn about management and leadership in organisations and how to interpret and use the key terms such as levels, leadership, management, responsibility and accountability, vision and values. You will also gain an understanding of how organisations develop managerial effectiveness through delegation and various methods of leadership development. You will go on to find out how workplace performance is managed through formal performance management schemes and also through coaching and mentoring and the use of effective communication. Effective management and leadership ensures that all employees’ efforts are working together and contributing to future success of the organisation.

Managing Personal and Professional Development
Unit aim
This unit gives learners an understanding of the need for personal and professional development. This unit also provides an introduction to the concept of implementing and monitoring personal professional development plans.
Unit introduction
Success as a manager requires both the development of professional and personal skills that support working effectively in the interests of the business. If you continuously develop your skills and knowledge then this will help you to be fully prepared to achieve goals or to approach changes in the workplace. In this unit you will learn about the trends and developments that are currently influencing the need for the development of personal and professional skills.
This unit will provide the opportunity for you to explore the importance of ensuring that your personal professional development plan reflects your personal values and goals as well as those of your employer. You will also consider how to use professional networks and professional bodies to assist your development as well as how to set development objectives and devise a plan to achieve the targets you have set yourself. You will go on to explore the value of constructive feedback, and how to review and monitor your progress as you implement your personal professional development plan.

Lean Manufacturing
Unit Introduction :
Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to minimising waste in a manufacturing system, by focusing on the activities that add the most value through the eyes of the customer. The basis of lean manufacturing originated in the car industry and was developed by Toyota in Japan. Lean is now used extensively worldwide, in all types and size of organisation, to improve international competitiveness. It is therefore crucial for manufacturing engineers to be able to design and operate manufacturing systems that employ lean successfully.
The aim of this unit is to introduce students to the principles and processes of lean manufacturing, so that they can become an effective and committed practitioner of lean in whatever industry sector they are employed in. To do this, the unit will explore the tools and techniques that are applied by organisations practicing lean. The students will consider both the benefits and challenges of using lean manufacturing, and become sufficiently knowledgeable about the most important process tools and techniques to be able to operate and use them.
Among the topics included in this unit are: scoping and defining lean manufacturing, the benefits and challenges of adopting Lean, The Toyota Production System (TPS), common tools and techniques associated with lean manufacturing and process improvement, and the most appropriate improvement tool(s) to tackle a problem.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to explain the common principles of lean manufacturing, compare the Toyota Production System with the now more widely adopted generic approaches to lean manufacturing, utilise a range of the process improvement tools used within lean manufacturing, and demonstrate effective communication skills in order to lead the process of continuous improvement across an organisation.

Computer Aided Design and Manufacture (CAD/CAM)
Unit Introduction :
The capacity to quickly produce finished components from a software model is now essential in the competitive world of manufacturing. Businesses now invest heavily in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) software and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines to facilitate this, thus reducing product lead times. CAD gives design engineers the platform to creatively model components that meet the specific needs of the consumer. When these models are combined with CAM software, manufacturing is made a reality.
This unit introduces students to all the stages of the CAD/CAM process and to the process of modelling components using CAD software specifically suitable for transferring to CAM software.
Among the topics included in this unit are: programming methods, component set-up, tooling, solid modelling, geometry manipulation, component drawing, importing solid model, manufacturing simulation, data transfer, CNC machine types and inspections.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to illustrate the key principles of manufacturing using a CAD/CAM system; produce 3D solid models of a component suitable for transfer into a CAM system; use CAM software to generate manufacturing simulations of a component; and design a dimensionally accurate component on a CNC machine using a CAD/CAM system.

Quality and Process Improvement
Unit Introduction :
Quality has always been the key to business success and survivability, but it requires organisations to allocate a lot of effort and resources to achieve it. The key to providing quality services and designing top quality products lies in the strength and effectiveness of the processes used in their development; processes which must be constantly reviewed to ensure they operate as efficiently, economically and as safely as possible.
This unit introduces students to the importance of quality assurance processes in a manufacturing or service environment and the principles and theories that underpin them. Topics included in this unit are: tools and techniques used to support quality control, attributes and variables, testing processes, costing modules, the importance of qualifying the costs related to quality, international standards for management (ISO 9000, 14000, 18000), European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), principles, tools and techniques of Total Quality Management (TQM) and implementation of Six Sigma.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to illustrate the processes and applications of statistical process, explain the quality control tools used to apply costing techniques, identify the standards expected in the engineering environment to improve efficiency and examine how the concept of Total Quality Management and continuous improvement underpins modern manufacturing and service environments.
