Manufacturing Management, AAS

Program Overview

The constantly changing manufacturing sector calls for well-trained, adaptable supervisors. Businesses need first- and second-line supervisors who are capable of interpreting policies to employees, setting work goals, improving communications and interpersonal relationships, maintaining discipline, and motivating employees.

MCC’s Manufacturing Management program prepares students for these manufacturing leadership positions. The curriculum is designed for those who have experience in manufacturing and want to gain the managerial skills necessary for promotion.

Offerings include two certificates and an associate’s degree. The degree program covers supervisory skills; manufacturing materials, processes and procedures; and managerial functions, focusing on actual workplace issues. Later courses provide more concentrated study in production and inventory control, plant layout and material handling, personnel relations, cost and quality control, and maintenance and safety practices.

The courses in this program are arranged in a sequence that provides optimal learning opportunities. Students are required to follow the integrated program sequence.

The primary purpose of an Associate in Applied Science degree is to prepare students for employment. The AAS degree is not designed specifically for transfer; however, there are opportunities to apply some coursework or the whole degree to a bachelor’s degree program. For more information, see an academic advisor and the department chair.
