Survey Report The Responsibilities and Activities of UK Production Managers

A small and simple questionnaire survey of UK production managers was undertaken in 1983. The objective was to collect information to help in curriculum design. The summary results presented may be of interest to those who teach this subject. Data were collected from 45 production managers (and those with a similar title) employed in manufacturing organisations. All respondents were engaged in the management of production in large, often multi‐plant, companies.
