Manufacturing & Technology Management (MTM) Option
Area Description
The Manufacturing & Technology Management (MTM) Option provides a broad, multi-disciplinary perspective of how to manage a manufacturing sector enterprise. It is designed to be taken as a dual-option in the MBA program.
The goal of this option is to give students the skills they need in every functional area, such as operations or finance, to be a successful manager and leader in a manufacturing industry. MTM achieves this goal through traditional classroom learning and hands-on learning project opportunities.
Objectives
After completing the MTM options, students should understand the flow of materials and products through the manufacturing process. In addition, a manager must be able to:
· Manage quality and cost
· Develop human resources
· Understand the global marketplace
· Understand information technology and it strategic importance
· Create strategic value through technology and manufacturing operations
· Appreciate the nature and importance of innovation and product development
MTM is designed to be taken as a dual option. The most common dual options are operations, finance, and MIS.

Typical Students
Students should have an interest in manufacturing facilities, a technical background (often engineering), and a willingness to get experience on the production level so they can gain first-hand knowledge of how a manufacturing operation works.
