Georgia Tech is advancing the development of an online professional master’s degree in manufacturing leadership (PMML). Course design is progressing well, and we will reach out to our industry advisors for feedback in the near future. The program core courses will feature production management, manufacturing reliability, lean manufacturing, and economics for decision-making. Elective concentrations will begin with forest biomaterials and chemical process technology. The courses are being designed to be effective for adult learners in an online environment with case studies and leadership lessons embedded in all courses. The plan is to gain approvals, develop materials and admit students for the Fall ’15 cohort. Please contact Norman Marsolan (Norman.Marsolan@rbi.gatech.edu) if you would like to contribute program ideas through the industry advisory group.
