What You Will Learn

Craft operational strategies that can transform businesses.

The Diploma in Industrial & Operations Management (DIOM) equips you with the expertise to design, improve, oversee, and manage companies’ business operations and resources — skills that are in-demand in today’s workplaces.

Be primed to devise practical solutions for organisations to address industry challenges such as meeting productivity targets and navigating an ageing workforce.

Learn to develop integrated solutions across multiple sectors, cultivate specialist knowledge in human factors, Lean Six Sigma, operations planning, project and quality management, and gain exposure to human resource management, supply chain management, finance, and entrepreneurship.

Acquire essential technical skills in our six high-tech laboratories using specialised software and tools and be exposed to practical hands-on sessions in a replicated industry environment.

Through our strong collaborations with established industry partners, you will have the opportunity to embark on real-life industry final year projects, local and overseas internships as well as to achieve professional certification as you progress.

You will be well-poised to play a pivotal role in addressing operational challenges faced by businesses.

The Diploma in Industrial & Operations Management (DIOM) could also be a ‘Diploma in Identifying Opportunities through Multi-disciplines’... At RP, I was given many opportunities. Guided by helpful lecturers and being exposed to practical learning experiences, this is where I found my passion for the maritime industry. DIOM has prepared me well with its emphasis on productivity and forward-thinking, both key to economic activities. Definitely helps me add value in any job.
